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…

International Dvorak Layout
Read More: International Dvorak LayoutBefore my study abroad in Spain, I realized that I was going to be doing quite a bit of writing en español, and that this was going to require some new keyboard adjusting, since I didn’t feel like doing the alt-01249 key combinations to get characters like ñ € ó ç º ü ¡ ¿,…

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…

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…

Emotional Fútbol War Ground
Read More: Emotional Fútbol War GroundToday began, perhaps, the emotional roller coaster ride of leaving Spain. I am, without a doubt, excited to come back home. However, there are certainly aspects I will miss about Barcelona, mostly, if not only, the people I have met. My good friend, Iana, left today to Bulgaria. For some reason I wasn't really sad…

Eighteen Years of Lecture
Read More: Eighteen Years of LectureI meant to write this on Tuesday, the 9th. I was going to backdate it, but decided not to. It was, however, written in my notebook on that date, and is being transcribed here on this date. My good friend, Derek, somehow, seemed to know that I was going to write this as he had…

The Streets are Always Wet
Read More: The Streets are Always WetI guess once the initial barrier is broken, it is easier to write random thoughts about Barcelona. I should have done this a long time ago. There is something that really bothers me about the streets here. They are always wet. Always. Sometimes they are completely wet, as if it just rained. Other times they…
