Topic: Back to the old format
I’m going back to my “topic” format, versus the whole, “major/class” thing. I felt a need to play on the idea of academic legitimacy, and to get myself thinking that almost every thought of mine could fit into anything from a high school curriculum to a PhD thesis.I think this format is a bit cleaner, and it’s always nice to return to your roots.
As usual, so many things I’d like to write about. Musings about jobs (other people’s, since it’s not kosher to write honestly about your own job so long as you’re not self-employeed), musings about Arsenal (into the quarterfinals of the Champions League after knocking out Spanish powers Real Madrid), about writing (have received numerous e-mails in response to my initial e-mailing of my book intro), about travel (have a week long trip to St. Louis coming up at the end of April for a wedding, another wedding in London in Aug., a free Southwest flight that I’m contemplating using for a trip to Portland or somewehre else w/ mountains), about the game Sudoku (I’m bonding w/ my mom over this newspaper game), about life after college (I’m looking to play frisbee and enjoy some daylight drinking in Central Park this weekend)…will write more soon.

I thought you might like this site: http://www.zaadz.com. I love the quotes section, but it looks like it is devoloping some real promise for creating a community of people who are seeking to “change the world.”

wow. That was a great story. I was actually introduced to Ben Harper at a ballroom performance where a couple danced to “Another Lonely Day”. This was back in the days of Napster, so my roommate and I got right on the computer and listened to a bunch of his stuff. I’ve been hooked ever since.
