Café Tacuba [Chilanga Banda]
Read More: Café Tacuba [Chilanga Banda]Tonight I went to see Café Tacuba live at La Zona Rosa. They opened for themselves, playing a total of two and a quarter hours with just a five minute break or so at the end of the first hour. It was a long, but very entertaining performance. They were supposed to start their set…

Mexico [Sinking] City
Read More: Mexico [Sinking] CityI realized during what was my fourth trip to Mexico since moving to Texas that I had not written even a word regarding my visits and adventures. That is a shame, really, as there is really quite a bit that I should have shared about my travels to Monterrey, Playa del Carmen, and Akumal. This…

Home to home through home
Read More: Home to home through homePerhaps I was a bit hard on Rochester in my last post. Overall, it really wasn’t too bad of a place to re-visit. It is amazing how much not being able to find something at a late hour can affect my judgment of a place. On Wednesday, after a long day of recruiting at the…

Return to Rochester
Read More: Return to RochesterI only get the urge to write in this blog when I travel. I wonder why that is. Today, I am back in Rochester, NY. Home of my alma-mater. This time, instead of being a resident, I am a visitor. Instead of being a student, I am a full-time employed adult. Instead of seeking employment…

Marfa, TX [The Other Oasis in the Desert]
Read More: Marfa, TX [The Other Oasis in the Desert]Last weekend, I went on a trip to Marfa, Texas with a friend from work, Josh. Where is Marfa? Well, it’s nowhere, really. By nowhere, I mean out in the dry brush land of western Texas. By nowhere, I mean it is a place that shouldn’t exist, yet does, somehow. Kind of like Neverland. Why…

New Clothes
Read More: New ClothesBasically, I just wanted to post this picture. But really, I decided that my wardrobe needs some revamping. Europe has made me realize that baggy shirts are not the way to go. The problem is that finding long sleeve shirts with my neck size and sleeve length is apparently near impossible. I did get some…

It was like I’ve always lived in this mess.
Read More: It was like I’ve always lived in this mess.The title is not meant to sound negative. In a way, its what Austin really is. This entire city is a contradiction in my mind, and that seems to be the way I operate. On contradictions. Oh, and, by the way, I am living in Austin, TX now. Should it not have been for my…

Jo estic català
Read More: Jo estic catalàToday was rough. In fact, it is less like one day, not even two, but more like three. I slept two hours before going to the beach, and felt rather exhausted when I did wake. Kaitlin and I went anyways, and it was ok, but the weather could have been better. Then the coming back…
