A DISASTROUS DATE by Gizel E. Vega Oquendo I remember my first date. Not only because it was my first romantic experience with who I considered during that time "the boy of my dreams"‚ but also because it was one of the most embarrasing experiences of my life.

in the age category I had specified in my profile criteria. Well‚ let me just say this‚ there’s older men and then there’s just old. And this also has a lot to do with how much a guy looks after himself‚ his dress sense‚ his outlook on life etc. Dinner was long‚ drawn out and awkward as hell. We had zero things in common and the guy was really boring and from a totally different world and generation to me. He also had this habit of making a sort of ’hmmmm’ sound when he looked at me across the table

at depicting the relationship between the Wampanoag Indians and the Pilgrims during the First Thanksgiving. The painting is very simplistic. In other words‚ it fails to recognize the crucial details of what actually led up to the First Thanksgiving‚ and what occurred afterward as a result of the Peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians.
