Who Are We ??
A mixture of the funky and vibrant talent that S.A. students have to offer.
Pap n' Vleis is the fusion of a dynamic culture, opinionated professionalism and outright craziness.
Prepare to have your boundaries shattered !!

TRAPPED, BY CIRCUMSTANCES AND CHOICES!
JIM CAULDER 7-22-09
IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE DAY. THE SUN IS JUST BEGINNING TO CRAWL OVER THE HORIZON. SENDING ITS FIRST RAYS OF LIGHT, WARMTH AND HOPE FOR A NEW DAY OVER THE VALLEY.
THE VALLEY LIES SECRETED UNDER A LAYER OF FOG. THE VEIL OBSCURES THE IMPERFECTIONS OF A NEIGHBORHOOD IN DECLINE .STRUGGLING WITH SOCIAL, POLITICAL, CURTURAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES,LIKE SO MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES . THE VEIL ADDS INTEREST AND INTREIGUE TO A SUBJECT IF SEEN IN FULL LIGHT, MIGHT NOT MUSTER MUCH APPEAL. THE FOG VEIL IS KIND TO THE VALLEY, SOFTNING A HARSH REALITY.
OUR VALLEY IS PEACEFUL IN THIS MOMENT, NOT YET AWAKE, NOT YET EMERGED FROM UNDER ITS FOG COVER . SILHOUETTES ON THE OPPOSING HILL, RANDOM CHURCH STEEPLES, FLASHING RED AND GREEN LIGHTS ON RADIO ,T.V. AND POLICE COMMUNICATION TOWERS, AN OCCASIONAL NEON SIGN, ALL COMBINE TO CREATE A COMPELLING COLLAGE. STILL HIDDEN ARE THE CRACKED, POT HOLED, LITTER LINED STREETS.THE ABANDONED CARS WITH NO WHEELS AND BUSTED WINDSHIELDS. YOU CAN`T YET SEE THE RUN DOWN HOUSES, WHERE PEOPLE ON FIXED INCOMES LIVE. BARELY SURVIVING FROM MONTH TO MONTH. WHERE THE WORKERS LIVE THAT RAISE ,PREPARE , COOK AND SERVE THE FOOD IN NEARBY RESORT COMMUNITIES.THE HOMES OF THOSE THAT DO THE HOUSEKEEPING,YARD WORK,CHILD CARE FOR THE MORE FINANCIALLY FORTUNATE.
THE FIRST LIGHT WILL SOON REVEAL A NEW SCAR ON THE EARTH, WHERE BULLDOZERS HAVE SCRAPPED OFF THE TOPSOIL, MAKING READY FOR ANOTHER CONVENIENCE STORE. A CONVENIENCE STORE WHERE GASOLINE AND MILK WILL BE SOLD FOR TOO MUCH AND ALCOHOL WILL BE SOLD TOO CHEAPLY. A CONVENIENCE STORE WHERE THE PEOPLE NEVER HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FILL UP THEIR TANK AND GO FIND A BETTER LIFE , BUT ALWAYS MANAGE TO FIND ENOUGH NICKLES AND DIMES FOR CHEAP BOOZE TO HELP THEM ESCAPE FROM THEIR REALITY ,ONE MORE DAY.
MY MOMENT OF TRANQUILLITY IS.......
