Spent Memorial Day weekend celebrating Peter and all his classmates at Brown’s 2018 graduation ceremony. This was a big moment for me so don’t ruin it by thinking this is about him alright?
Some thoughts from the my first Triathlon ever! 3.08! Terribad conditions! Excited for taper and the Half!
Just some writing, a quick opinion on how I’m using my time now to cultivate the best version of myself. Lots of things in the works, keep an eye out! Races, Farmhands, Open Mics, Trips, Events, Creation. Let me know what you think! What’s driving you?
The Alchemist is a crafted story, like an epic poem, that could be unwound every day, slowly, at a fireside. It builds places that tower the protagonist, situations that are fanciful and delightful and foreign. It gave me an unearned nostalgia and the temptations of a dream all at once. 5.00/5.00
Just sort of jotted down thoughts from the open mic, a mix of emotions and next steps. I loved what I created there, I want to continue to cultivate it, I need help with anything I listed, but regardless I’ll make it again and make it better.
Life hasn't been exactly sunshine and dandelions since January, but I've had an outstanding 2018 so far. Yet, somehow I've been thinking about how the uncomfortable moments are an important part of the growth. It's a stance of privilege, and it's only in a space that I can be safe and secure, but it's exactly that space of unknowing that I want to cultivate.
I try a second stretch of vegetarianism. It's mostly to try reducing my total environmental impact as well as lower a total lifetime consumption of meat. I explain my thought process, my execution, and how the practice has altered my regular diet.
Second Mardi Gras in 3 years. True, the holiday doesn't represent all of the city, but thanks to wonderful local friends, I was able to experience a more intimate, extravagant, and ultimately better time both for Mardi Gras and the city itself. I really loved this place and the time I spent there and the company I spent it with. Thanks Shaq, Mary-Lou, Henry et. all for the hospitality and love!
If you're having a bad day [or days], a little tea can always help. I've had some struggles the last few months [early Nov- late Jan ish] and I wrote a bit about what steps I took to feel better. I hope it's helpful advice, if you feel like everything's been a little overwhelming.
Black Panther stands above and apart in the Parthenon of superhero movies in many aspects. It's diverse, it's got a great message, it looks beautiful, and it's an important and successful first step to making the mainstream more representative. There's a few legitimate criticisms, but that's high level nitpicking. However, that's pretty much what this blog is!
My experiences introducing myself are part of a myriad of growth areas I've applied myself to over the last few years. It's gotten much better, but it also hasn't changed much at all. I provide some helpful guidelines I've used, and reflect on what the process has meant to me.
A Volunteer Moment with Music for Autism, helps me understand my younger Cultural experiences in the context of Asian Males in this country
I'm an arrogant SOB, and that's never more clear then when I make-up bets with faceless, nameless Gods, all in the effort to give me some edge. Here, I'm exploring my tendency to use God as a means to reap rewards, and discuss what I think it means to pray, to shout, to live in the shadow of Omnicisent
I spent 9 days in Barcelona for New Years with family. It's an exciting and wonderful city, and I hare some recommendations and thoughts from the area. [No pictures. Because the phone was pickpocketed haha]
