cheeseburgers and pancakes
The above reference is for one person. Since coming to Korea I have thought a lot on relationships, human interaction, contact, et all. Through my musings I have uncovered a lot, but I also felt I misunderstood a lot. This all changed when I met a wonderful girl. Her name is Dara McClary and her passion for life, ideas, art always gets me excited. She is beautiful and far cooler than...

Committment
For the first time in my life I feel committment. I feel committed to building my eco-resume, so I can get to into the graduate school of my choice. Right now my top five go in this order:
1. Evans School at the University of Washington
2. University of Vermont
3. University of Colorado at Boulder
4. NYU Environmental Development and Education Program
5. University of Michigan...
RAVEHIZZAWHATWHAT!!!!!!!
At moments in life there is a calling, a calling to participate in greatness. On a Saturday morning, alone in my pajamas i.e. my boxers, a brown friend made that call. He told me that we transport ourselves to a rave set on the illustrious shores of the Han. At this moment I knew my night would scream of neon lights, haziness, and loads of awkward dancing. All of this came true. But through...

I am ready for graduate school, really ready. I...

post #2 as an apology
Sorry for getting all philosophical in that last post. In this post I mean to relate to all yeah all on a personal level. Today, I went into Seoul for Buddha’s Birthday. It was pretty rad. The festivities included a big long parade, face painting, lantern making, and for you more daring folk, inappropriate touching. Only kidding (about the face painting). As a foreigner in Seoul I am...
convergence
This is a topic I have given a lot of thought. Convergence is one of those ideas that feels sticky, kind of like bubblegum, but with more tang and sweetness. Perhaps, like molasses, but I leave that for you to decide.
Convergence is an idea discussed in the media frequently. It is the notion that will be a moment where all facets of technology will interface into a seamless, cohesive whole. ...
A moment in time
Through these past months I have gone through heavy shit. I have experienced an onslaught of depression, anxiety, and fear. Through this fear I have learned a lot about myself. At one time I would have lost it. I would have given up. But now I am approaching life with a new clarity. My life is strong. I am going places and I feel ready. I’m studying Chinese again, and I’m...
