Thanks for swinging in! Writing with a bunch of smart young people, we blog about the monkey business of life with tweens 8-15, and love anything shiny and new. Book/movie/game reviews, shopping, nom nom snacks, OMG news and issues, pop stars, and YouTube LOLs are fair game in this jungle.

Cast away labels like Vinny... amazing video to watch.
"Fallen" by Vinny Borzumato
I’ve fallen many times.
I’ve fallen under labels, but none of them are mine.
I’ve fallen under white. I’ve fallen under weird.
I’ve fallen under gay. I’ve fallen under queer.
But now I choose to rise, shine like the brightest star.
I'm rising to this occasion, I’m raising up the bar.
No longer am I losing, I’m finally choosing.
Throwing labels away, casting hurt astray.
So call me what they want, I will not do the same.
As for you, you can call me Vinny, because that is my only name.
