[30 Day Challenge] 30 Interesting People

Random Observation/Comment #460: Being badass seems pretty important in life. I think we should all strive to be badass – whatever that means to you. Why This List? I know what you’re thinking – what makes a person interesting? Well, I think a lot of things are interesting, so an interesting person isn’t really hard to find. In fact, I’m...

Living Vicariously

Living Vicariously

Random Observation/Comment #238: I congregate with such an odd lot of friends. My crew would probably be on the cover of some diversity poster at NYU.  Maybe I just like the phrases we make up. Wordlife. It was the day after St. Patty’s Day. One of my best friends and I were sitting at McSorely’s drinking a pair of Darks,...

The Chain of Hostel Friends

Random Observation/Comment #104: I never imagined it would have taken so much time to catch up with my Japan entries.  I thought I would have finished these summaries and reflections a maximum of two weeks after returning.  Now that I had gotten so used to writing about every passing day, how will I catch up with all of the things...
