“Everything with Cream Cheese”

We had barely touched the ground at Newark last week, when the pilot got on the microphone to boldly proclaim that we had, in fact, reached our destination: “Welcome to Newark Liberty International Airport, United State of America“. The pride in his voice ensured that there was no trace of doubt that I had, at [...]

Overcoming racial injustice, one polar bear at the time

I took a walk last night and strolled along Goodman Street with Beth, Lisa, Jaci, Toby & Cori. The sky was beautiful and I took a lot of photos while the other’s had deep conversations

He spends time with his horses, which are gay, too

We spent what roughly feels like 2 weeks in Silver Lake yesterday! I like that place a lot. Beth picked me up in the city and we went to Churchville from where we started the epic journey out to the Drive In movie theatre. When we got there, we had some great food from the [...]

Get your yak together *Updated*

Apparently, my nostrils look like 2 of the Finger lakes from below. The names are Indian/Native American to be precise and I now have names for each of my nostrils! Cayuga and Oneida.

Because nobody likes looking at pictures of other people’s friends

Beth and I just spent what feels like roughly 45 days at the apple store, waiting for my computer to crash in front of some apple representative who can’t do anything about my mac unless it crashes. Which it obviously wouldn’t because, well, we were at the apple store. It is like going to the [...]

Fighting

List of things that Beth and I have fought about today in such an emotional way that it left me with the taste of blood in my mouth: -Turning off the car at the railroad crossing and pollution in general -The overuse of cinnamon in fruit salad -Music and the fact that she doesn’t accept [...]

All the fun had left the party when the people with the big lenses disappeared

7.30 is an ungodly hour! I want to put this out there for the world to hear. On the other hand, Java Joe’s pancakes probably have the magical ability to wake me up at any given hour. You will soon find yourself agreeing with me. The gist: Woke up at 7.30 in the morning and [...]
