“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This is me, trying to be me… [Insert better description here].
George Floyd – Only a Sith Speaks in Absolutes
I spent the first few days following the killing of George Floyd on the prowl for anybody I could indiscriminately rain my self righteous anger upon– I wanted to shove it into anyone’s face how much less they knew or understood about the situation than me. Do you know what rooftop Koreans refers to? Do…
Don’t take me to the Cheesecake Factory…
One thing I love doing is reading the nutrition information of foods and restaurant items. I know that probably seems contradictory but one time my brother and I were reading Eat this Not that and all we saw were ideas for lunch not health advice. While reading the “20 New Worst Foods in America” a…
Cartman > Beck
I wrote this back in April, but never got around to finishing it. I figure 6 weeks is enough of a break… So I was in Barnes and Nobles near Gwinnett Mall trying to get some work done, obviously that didn’t work out too well. I started wandering around when I noticed something interesting about…
I just read “Night” for class… so you can see where I’m coming from…
I haven’t posted anything in about a month and a half, and I wrote this a couple of weeks ago but never got around to putting it up. Since I’m supposed to be writing a paper right now I figured it was the best time to find something else to do. I also realized when…
I Get all My News from the Daily Show
I was really close to skipping class today, but it was the thought of not writing this entry that got me out of bed… sort of… I guess. So to continue my tradition of procrastinating I want to talk about the “Snowmaggeddon” a couple of weeks ago, and what was the response of a number…
Miami’s Not the Same
I failed to maintain my original plan of posting once a week, mainly because I skipped my Sociology class last Thursday, and that’s pretty much when I write these. However, for the sake of attendance this endeavor of mine putters on. Anybody not heard about the Jersey Shore? I hated this show when I heard…
Animals are for Eating.
If tradition means anything, this will be the last post of the year. But I am in a Sociology class that is so big and boring that I can see myself writing every week, like I’m doing now. So about a year ago there was a minor upheaval about a biologist telling conservationists to give…
We should all be bald vegans…
Alright I’m going to give this another try, and by try I mean do it half-assed maybe two or three times before petering out into nothingness, since that’s what happened last semester. But to a new decade here goes another doomed attempt to rise out of mediocrity into a cycle of an actual life. I…
Usually my titles are amazingly profound in their combination of simplicity and depth I promise…
I guess that once a week plan didn’t really pan out, but once a month seems all right with me. In my understandably weak defense, I didn’t have internet at my place until last Thursday. I’ll probably write more regularly now that school’s started and I’ll have something to do. Usually I do most of…
Brave New World
I always thought blogging was a little pretentious, sort of shouts out: “my thoughts are so interesting READ ABOUT ‘EM.” But then looking at facebook and twitter, it seems as if people are so dependent on social interaction that they’ll respond to the increasingly dramatic one word facebook statuses like “tired, sad, hello.” I’m not…
