Belated Year in Review

1. What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before? Been in a relationship. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn’t really make any.  At one point I started going to the gym again, but that fell through. 3. Did anyone close [...]

It’s been a while…

Well, I have now been a working man for a full year.  On Sept. 28, 2004, I began my first real job.  Now, I am working the first real job that I actually like!  I thought this occasion warranted a post. As you know, my website has been down for quite some time.  Don’t worry; [...]

Why I bought a Camera-phone

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA Tonight, I went to SilverDocs, “the pre-eminent U.S. documentary fest,” right here in Silver Spring. Missed the film I really wanted to see, “Bob Smith – USA,” so instead I went to see five short films. A good choice, because I like short films and honestly, documentary filmmaker would probably in [...]

…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 [...]

#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 [...]

#5: Barenaked Ladies in “Rooster”/Choose MY Own Adventure. Part 5 of 9 in a special series.

Novemeber 12, 2003 This actually started off on my honorable mention list, but somehow kept working its way higher and higher up. Maybe that’s just because this is the most recent item on the countdown (it was just one month ago yesterday), but honestly I think it deserves to be here. I have a feeling [...]

#6: Day Trip to Ottawa, ON. Part 4 of 9 in a special series.

May 03, 2003 My friend Dan (“Dan the Man.” It’s neccessary to specify considering that there are currently at least 6 Dans who are involved in my life in some way) is a big Philadelphia Flyers fan, and he knows I really like hockey too, so when he and his friend Matt (who I only [...]

#7: RA Training. Part 3 of 9 in a special series.

August 07-20, 2003 Events 5-8 in my countdown all have something in common: they all involve me meeting some new people, or at least getting to better know some people who I only vaguely knew before. If getting to know people was the only criteria, this would have finished much higher on this list. Even [...]

My #8 Memory from my time in Syracuse: Julia and Florence’s Hot Tub Party. Part 2 of 9 in a special series.

Friday, May 09, 2003 What better way to celebrate the end of the year than by spending a day in hot tub with a bunch of friends? Now you may have heard of hot tub parties before. Hot tubs can be rented surprisingly inexpensively, and from time to time you hear about a fraternity or [...]

My greatest memories from my time in Syracuse: Honorable mention. Part 1 of 9 in a special series.

Most college students spend 4 years on campus. But on December 17, only 2 and a half years after I first arrived here, I’ll be leaving for good. On one hand, there are so many things about this University that I absolutely despise that I will actually be happy to get away. But at the [...]
