Who Will Cry For The Little Boy?

Who will cry for the little boy?
Lost and all alone.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Abandoned without his own?

Who will cry for the little boy?
He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He never had for keeps.

Who will cry for the little boy?
He walked the burning sand.
Who will cry for the little boy?
The boy inside the man.

Who will cry for the little boy?
Who knows well hurt and pain.
Who will cry for the little boy?
He died again and again.

Who will cry for the little boy?
A good boy he tried to be.
Who will cry for the little boy?
Who cries inside of me?

-Antwoine Fisher (the movie)



This piece (poem and movie) is powerful

Just something special to me. I will never forget this poem. Right now, I am tired and waiting to speak with a professor about a paper. In the meantime, i will do my Spanish homework and I get my physical today for the medical history info, re: Semester at Sea.

I am trying not to say that I am tired...but I am. It is what it is.

Ciao,
A

Greetings,

It is a pleasure that I welcome you to my journey.
Journey?
Yes, watch the entire process of me getting squared away to travel the world -

Nassau, Bahamas
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Salvador, Brazil
Cape Town, South Africa
Port Louis, Mauritius
Cochin, India
Yangon, Myanmar
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Hong Kong
Shanghai, China
Kobe, Japan
Honolulu, Hawaii
Puntarenas, Costa Rica
**Transit Panama Canal**
Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Amazing, right? I know. Well, yeah it ain't easy!

My life is a balancing act - full-time school, work, and Semester at Sea. All on my own. I grind it out in NYC, but hail from Kansas City, MO. However, I raised hell in San Diego, CA and Atlanta, GA, as well.

This is just a brief introduction. Stay tuned.

Oh yeah, this is also a way that I am raising funds to make this voyage a reality. To see more info on my actual program go to semesteratsea.com I am a part of the Spring 2008 Voyage.

Must get back to applying for scholarships, doing spanish homework, writing sponsorship letters, and trying not to fall asleep.

Ciao,
Andrezinho
