There are many paths to success - some get there by leaping tall buildings in a single bound; some get there via unfortunate circumstances. Adnel Pena overcame a personal tragedy by converting negative feelings into a positive attitude.
Despite his situation, he is always smiling. Watch his story.......
VIRTUAL GYPSYZ
Its the first day of Autumn. Or possibly not. Its kinda hard to tell here in Miami. Of course not having a proper Fall & Winter is why lots of of us live in the Southern part of the Sunshine state.
Come celebrate seasonal ambiguoity with the Miami Writer's Association; we-& you if you like- will be reading poems, short fiction, essays & other writing with a (mostly) seasonal theme, peices about Summer, Fall....& that unique S. Florida combination-"Fummer". And, if you have a song to sing, then don't fret, the stage is yours as well*
BOOMTOWN FEVER
Ferrari-driving villains, beautiful damsels in Brickell high-class dress, dazed yogis, confused real estate agents, suicidal and drunken politicians, cap-toothed publicists, dueling media moguls, sex and her best friend, money. I love MyAmi.
I love it the way New Yorkers love New York. And I know that kind of love, being the offspring of Nuyoricans who make a yearly pilgrimage just to drink water from the tap. “It’s just not as good heyah – the wawter in New York – it’s so much cleanah!”
URBAN MERMAIDZ
Women are able to control their businesses; or they like to have a sense of control and so they excel in business. But their love loves often suffer as a result. Why? Because the yang energy that men used to fulfill in their lives has been replaced by their own yang energy. Women are becoming balanced. Men are still yang. And until they can find their own yin, the sexes will remain at W-A-R.
CHAKRA GIRLZ
"The Genesis of Change" starring the "Chakra Girlz" is a Multimedia exhibition that envisions the culture, politics, architecture and people of Miami through a sci fi lens. It focuses on the local community's rise and fall of trends and their effects on the human spirit, but more importantly, the show is decidedly from a female gaze, a rare and oppressed perspective in a very macho city. Types of art to be featured: Digital art on canvas, wall wrap, photography, video mash-up, live yoga performances in costume, comic books. Main Artist: Clutch Deluxe, TheYummiest.com. Peripheral Artists: Gysela Myami. Performance Artists: The Chakra Girlz: Terri Cooper, Gisele Osmoros, Jodi Valensky, Sage Molotov, Christy Nones, Greg Nardi, Kemila Velan. Curator: Melanie Feliciano.
THE FEMMEBOTS: MULTIMEDIA FROM THE FEMALE GAZE
The other night I was watching TV with the B-O-Y rather than retreating to the BRAIN to do what Femmebots like to do (read, write, draw, listen to music). I watched so much TV growing up, that I don’t care much for it at this time in my life (34 years old), as my energy seems to have become more sensitive to its attempts at brainwashing.
He likes to watch two-to-three programs at a time, often alternating between the “Ouch! My Balls!” Idiocracy type of footage on TruTV, House Hunters International on HGTV and last night, “Sons of Anarchy,” a new series on FX. You can guess that the only one I can tolerate is the HGTV show (which does a great job of making viewers feel like “I want that!”), and the others are pure crap...
