Inuk and the Sun is a coming-of-age story by Herry Beissel, which "explores the fundamental human experience of life and death", set in an Arctic winterscape in a small Inuit village. The young protagonist, Inuk, is on a classic hero quest, seeking self-determination by searching for the light and nurturing warmth of the sun in the midst of the cold dark winter. Beissel chose the Inuit setting for his story because "Canada's first people have much to teach us . . . [about] the need to understand and accept our place in nature in order to survive."...

Holly came from Miami, Florida
Hitchhiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybodys darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head - she said:
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Little Joe never once gave it away,
Everybody had to pay and pay.
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is no place where they said:
Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side.
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go - they said:
Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side,
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side...

In life, we’re often told to “go with the flow.” Meaning, the flow of energy, the flow of events as they unfold. The implication here is that we shouldn’t struggle against forces beyond our control. To do so is to expend valuable energy that’s better exerted elsewhere.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about this going with the flow business, and what it all means.
It’s my feeling that people who are passive accepters will always go with the flow, no matter what. And that’s the majority of people. But then you have the other brand of personality - the movers and shakers. They’re fewer and farther between, sure. These people seem to have that killer gut instinct telling them when it’s right to go against the flow.
Why would you ever want to go against the flow? Why, when your whole life, everyone’s told you to roll with it, go with it, flow with it, and don’t rock the boat?
You’d want to go against the flow when it’s time to instigate change. Change is inevitable, yes. But don’t think for a minute that humans don’t have control over it, because we do. As the species in charge of this earth, we are artisans of change...

For all the fine words that I seem to say,
For all the fine clothes that I seem to wear,
For all the fine food that I seem to eat,
and for all the fine people that I meet.
I still sense... my mind yearning,
beseeching,
crying,
and asking...
is this a bad dream,
or just me and my silent scream...

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. In modern times, spray paint, normal paint and markers have become the most commonly used materials. In most countries, defacing property with graffiti without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism, which is punishable by law. Sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social and political messages. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism. Graffiti has since evolved into a pop culture existence often related to underground hip hop music and b-boying creating a lifestyle that remains hidden from the general public...
