As Salam Alaikum, dear reader. My name is Maimuna Hassan and I'm a young Black Muslim woman of Somali descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I'm in the Criminology program at the University of Ottawa, and will hopefully graduate next semester. Not sure if I want to do Law School right away or try to get a job in my major. It all depends on the job ma...
It was almost time for the annual Christmas party that my friend's company throws every year for her employees. I have been invited yearly since she and her husband bought out the company from an elderly retiring couple 5 years ago, who wanted to spend their retirement years in California. I have attended all of them and have had a great time each year. I ha...
Craig has been writing for this journal now for about two years and in this time he has had several 'journalist' come aboard due to expansion. Geri, his editor was a good woman. She's had experience in many areas and at the age 51, Craig had become her confidante of sorts. Geri was not your typical 51-year-old woman. She was active within the community of a...
There is something about the love of two men. They hold you, even when they hold you at a distance, and you always know, if you have given them everything they've ever wanted, you will never have to worry about them leaving. I have two such men. Jay and Adam. My name is Mavis Ayilah Clifford. I'm considered an African-American woman, although my mother was...
Wednesday was always Sahara’s favorite day of the week. It was in the middle of everything. It meant half the work week would be over, and she’d be able to see HIM. The man who’s beomce her fixation over the past week. She’s seen him twice now-both times on a Wednesday, and she hadn’t stopped thinking about him since. She was on her way home from class, wal...
For my friend Joe...It's finally done so now you can stop e-mailing me! The gavel came down with a resounding clank and the room fell silent. $2,000,000. That was highest price ever bid for a Renault; at least as far as Rhonda knew. She worked the podium at Sotheby's for almost 5 years now and saw many a priceless painting come through, but this one intrigu...
My name is Julie and I'm 28 years old. I've never been married but started dating when I was sixteen. Currently I'm dating a 29 year old named Gary who's really not a bad guy, but he seems to think that a lot of people and things are more important than me. It really bothers me even though I try not to let it. I called him last night and really let him have...
I gently let the black and red blanket hit the soft grass, then we follow through as well. It's a warm spring night as we lay underneath the millions of worlds above us. The air is silent from the pollution of others. All that carries through the breeze is the rustling of the trees, the soft melodies of the birds around, and a cricket here and there rubbings...
Where do I begin to tell about the most incredible night of my life? Let me start with a brief description of myself. My name is Kim. I am a 36 year old married white female. I am 5'2" and weigh 112 lbs. I have brown hair and eyes, 34c-25-35. I have been married for 10 years now, but have not been totally faithful to my husband. You see, I have had a weaknes...
Sitting inside the Harvard University library, Evan wondered for the thousandth time why the good Lord made him. Seriously. As a devout Christian, he never questioned the Will of Heaven. However, lately he'd become convinced that God sometimes made mistakes. And one of those mistakes was obviously Evan Blackstone. How else could he explain how he'd never onc...
