Random Thought of The Day

WatchWhen I listen to Suheir Hammad recite her poetry, I am left speechless. It grounds me deep into my roots, but at the same lifts my soul higher than the tallest mountains. Her words cut right through and mess around with parts of me I never even knew existed. Who is this stranger and how did she get so close?

WatchFacebook The Movie Set to Release Oct 01, 2010
I am certain the news of this movie (officially titled The Social Network) will receive plenty of negative feedback and snarly remarks because it is directly targeted at a web savvy audience that is naturally more inclined to be outspoken and to broadcast their thoughts via social media. Especially, considering the majority of social media...
