This is my life
« Previous EntriesOpen Letter of Intent
Monday, March 19th, 2012So this is me asking my friends and family to proofread something. I’m publishing this blog post with literally NO readthough, having finished the last sentence. I will go through periodically and read, change, edit, etc., and then eventually submit it. Your comments are not only appreciated, but begged for. — Don’t let my philosophy [...]
Yahallelu, Alhamdulillah, etc.
Sunday, February 26th, 2012Oh, wide meadow, do you fear the reaper? We who walk and run, we worry. From whom can we buy time? Whence comes your endless love of reaching for the sun? Teach us, I beg you, to honor the reaper and the soil and why you ever spring back. And how (!)(?) I found an [...]
The Songs of Taize
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012A lot of things happened since the last time I’ve written. Let’s I’ll give you the 199 Proof version up til actually getting to Taize: I moved out of my guest family’s house in Austria, spent a week sick but well tended in Vienna, I got on a plane to Paris, got on a bus [...]
Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning’s End
Saturday, January 7th, 2012It’s not that I haven’t wanted to write in a while, I promise. In fact, I’ve been doing so man amazing things that I’ve thought regularly that I have too much to write about and need to wait for things to calm down. That, obviously, don’t do a good job communicating my experiences to the [...]
Waiting at an Airport
Friday, November 11th, 2011Waiting is a hilarious thing. I’m sitting in the airport right now, waiting. Waiting for a gal I haven’t seen for more than 8 months. Eight months. The first month of that wait lasted for the last 8 months of my life. The last two hours have lasted the remaining 7 months. I wrote in [...]
Is This Real Life?
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011I feel funny. Is this going to be forever? (no, of course not. this too shall pass) Austria is unbearably beautiful right now. A thick and everpresent fog has descended upon us. If you can even see the mountains nuzzling whichever little hamlet you’re in, you certainly can’t see past them. Today I stepped outside [...]
A Look Into Morals.
Friday, October 7th, 2011I have strange but very poignant morals. I don’t understand my opinion, so I’m going to do what every good United Statesian does and be very vocal about it. When I was in 5th grade, in Mrs. B’s class, I realized that if the entire human population were buried in a cemetery like everyone I’d [...]
I wasn’t ready.
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011She entered and the world would never be the same. Two thousand days and ne’er a word. Not even one. And it wasn’t in the my eyes, but I was sad and content. She entered. She took. She left. It won’t be long now. It can’t belong now. And of course, it won’t last. We’ll [...]
The Nominous Experience
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Today I became a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That’s right, I am a Pastafarian. I am at this very moment thinking of how I can answer the question, “Why do you have dreadlocks?” in a punny way to refer to this very special religious community. Why did I change my [...]
An Open Application
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011“It’s gota be math or science…” I can hear the words bounce around my skull with the same inflection as clearly as if I were hearing them from my father’s lips. Some things were always certain about my life; more than just taxes and death. Not only will I be going to college, because I’ve [...]
