Make Me "The David"
I've worked at a frozen yogurt shop/coffee shop for over 3 years now. Yes that's right, a yogurt AND coffee shop, we sell both. It's a quiet job that has given me a chance to interact with a large variety of everyday people, and witness numerous encounters between those people that I believe can give us all a glimpse into what life is truly about. These are those stories.

A Social Critique Over Tacos
I work part-time in a local Mexican restaurant near my house, (No, it's not Taco Bell, we serve real tacos here) and since I'm a student and most of my classes are in the morning, I usually work in the evenings. This means that I constantly have to deal with the creepy costumers that hide during the day and only come out at night. On this note, let me tell you about a rather unfortunate experience, and my thoughts on it.

I Think We Will Begin the Story Here
Of course, I have to begin by telling you that this particular story started more than four decades ago, in the early 70s. But let us go ahead and make this its new inception point, the place where we can chat cozily about our present states, express hopes for our precariously-balancing futures, and weave a tiny bit of our past in there too by way of context and providing that always irrestible backstory that begs to be told.

Peace Keeping
In the booming age of technology, it is easier to be informed than it has ever been in the past. Between apps like Twitter and people recording their experiences twenty-four-seven, society has become inundated with surveillance, making it nearly impossible to do anything without being “seen”. This is especially true for police officers. Everything they do is recorded and scrutinized, so a lot of footage has surfaced over the years of men and women under the badge doing something mistakenly, unprofessional, sometimes even illegal, and out of context, it’s not surprising. However, what doesn’t get reported are the less exciting, monotonous calls these individuals respond to on a daily basis; the mundane, inglorious things that keep our communities safe.

Former PETA Employee Exposes What It Was Like To Work For Them
Earlier this month, I wrote and published an article on how PETA was attempting to take advantage of the bush fires that were affecting Australian wildlife and why people should not give a single penny to them. Upon its publication, and to my own surprise, the article blew to the point where it had a lot more readers than I originally expected when I publish my articles on Vocal. One of those readers was Kitty (not her real name), a former PETA employee who was so devastated about the news regarding the fires in the land down under that she donated to the WIRES Organization. She described her time at PETA as being vicious and so, she shared her story to me, which I have been given permission to share with all of you.

Service with a Smile
It was a scorcher of a Friday evening at the ol’ Outback Steakhouse, the restaurant would officially open in just a few moments, and the lobby was already PACKED! AND, to top it all off, I was given my favorite section of tables to wait on. Oooh baby, I’m gonna be making some loot tonight!

Pittsburgh Atlanta: A Weed and Seed Community- Part 1
Change. Change is a big word with a small amount of letters! History is filled with change; some changes are good, some are bad, but change is eventually inevitable. So what does change mean to a small historic town in downtown Atlanta. Throughout the years, Pittsburgh Atlanta has been a pivotal area in the Atlanta region. Unfortunately with the change of the times, the neighborhood has suffered extensive damages. At its peak, Pittsburgh was a center of African American excellence. With it such rich history being buried beneath its neglected demographics, there has been much initiative from the city of Atlanta to redevelop and "revitalize" this area.
