IN LIGHT OF 9/11, WHERE HAS ALL THE PATRIOTISM GONE?

This is an article my darling little cousin Yasmin Akbari wrote. Yasi, when I read this I was so proud of you. I never knew you were such a great writer. I have a lot of opinions on a lot of the things you said however and I want to share them with you. First off, I was wondering why you said the Pledge of Allegiance for the first time in high school. Did you not say it before? Did you not want to say it? Was it your way of passive rebellion? Leave me comments. And we’ll talk about it. _____________________________________________________________ I am proud to say that I recited the Pledge of Allegiance for the first time in high school Sept. 9. It’s not that I don’t pledge my allegiance... Read More

DISCOVER DC’s “HISTORY”- a TRUE LOVE STORY—DISCOVERED ON MY BIRTHDAY

Tonight, when I was coming back from birthday celebrations, my birthday bird’s eye view perspective stumbled across the word “History” for Yelp. As the “Business Owner” I had to “Claim my Business” and fill out my “HISTORY” for Discover DC TOURS. History? Well this is not some old lemonade stand company that turned into Mac Donalds in 1892…so I can’t top that. At first, I didn’t think there was much to my “history” but after giving it a little thought, I realized that I think of the pedicab and me in the sense of Holy Matrimony, a marriage, a relationship… no actually, more so a TRUE LOVE STORY: -how we... Read More

STEALING FROM THE RICH AND GIVING TO THE POOR

I must say that whenever I get off the metro to go to my house, I secretly wish that a pedicab will be waiting for me right outside the metro. Pedicab rides are my favorite mode of transportation! Especially because I am a bag lady (meaning I always walk around with more than both of my arms full of bags)! If the spirits-of-wish-come-trues bless me with such an honarble presence, I’d be jumping for joy. The thing is, it almost never happens. Pedicabs are not always where I want them to be, when I need them. In my fantasy world, the air would smell like my DKNY apple-icious perfume, everyone in town would ride bikes with no handle bars while they say hello to strangers, and pedicabs would... Read More
