Let’s keep this one short

BLACKWOOD, NJ Sorry about that long update about my trip to NYC. It seems like these updates keep getting longer and longer. I’m sorry about that, and I’ll try to keep this one short. If you want to read something long and boring, you can read “So I’m going to France…,” which I just posted. [...]

So I slept in the bus station & A Holiday Message

MARLTON, NJ If you were wondering where I was on Monday/Tuesday (I doubt you were, but in case you were), I was in New York City getting my French student visa. It was quite the ordeal. I actually had thought about not posting the whole thing because I really wanted to post a holiday message, [...]

Not much going on

BLACKWOOD, NJ I’m still here in NJ. It’s boring. Living in the suburbs and not being able to drive is just not cool. Actually, now that I think about it, there’s not much that’s great about this place even if you can drive. So it goes. At least I’ll get to see some friends. I [...]

Back in the ‘wood.

BLACKWOOD, NJ FYI: I just arrived safely in the land of pork roll and wooder. Holla! Current Mood: Worn out… Current Music:  Next Time by Barenaked Ladies

My #1 Memory of my time in Syracuse: Spring Break 2003 in Branson, MO with Habitat for Humanity. Part 9 of 9 in a special series.

March 08-16, 2003 No surprises here. Ok, maybe I’m a little later posting this entry than I had hoped to be, but let’s be honest, this should come as a surprise to no one. We all know that Branson was one of the best weeks of my life, so this quite easily tops the list. [...]

#2: Weekend in the Thousand Islands. Part 8 of 9 in a special series.

August 29-30, 2003 This probably qualifies as the dark horse of the countdown. It wasn’t planned for too long, and it came and went in just a few hours. But never in my life have I felt so truly blessed and lucky to be alive. Aaron, whom I met on my 2003 Spring Break trip [...]

…Never leave a trace

EAST SYRACUSE, NY If you’ve been following the countdown of my 10 favorite Syracuse memories, the top 2 have finally been announced. Sorry for the delay. They’re below this entry; scroll on down! Right now, I’m in a Microtel in East Syracuse. (I believe this is the 13th bed I’ve slept in since May, and [...]

#3: Weekend trip to Toronto, ON. Part 7 of 9 in a special series.

Novemeber 09-11, 2002 In 8th grade, minor league hockey was my life. I thought it was neat that for a few dollars, I could get a seat in a small arena in a small town and watch great hockey players before they became superstars. Then it occured to me that if minor league hockey was [...]

#4: 2003 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. Part 6 of 9 in a special series.

April 04-10, 2003 Now I’ve never been a big basketball fan. Or a fan of any college sports, really. But when Syracuse won the 2003 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship, you couldn’t help but be excited. You all know that I’ve had my problems with Syracuse. In fact, when we played the U. of Missouri [...]
