everything: absolute perfection.
it was part club part bar and I was half skank half class and it was kinda late and kinda early and the music was just all right but the guys were kinda short and not too cute and the girls were kinda sweaty and much too close and the beer was on the floor and all above heads and boys touched and…
SURF, SUN, AHI POKE, SHAVED ICE. check ya later, emails!
Recognize the scene? Turtle Bay served as the location for Forgetting Sarah Marshall :)
Quick glimpse from the balcony before submerging myself with emails& presentations. I swear I’m shutting everything off in an hour…
burned myself sealing the first batch of my graduation invitations… probably a sign I should go to sleep…
CNN front page reports on Trump pulling a Sheen & vegan cookies. Slow news day?

@fastcodesign features an innovative campaign from Nike that combines our two passions: design & technology. To promote a new line of shoes, Nike used software to record a runner’s path and those movements were then translated into the brush strokes of an abstract painting.

“by 19, i had found my look. oversize t-shirts, bike shorts, and wrestling shoes. to prevent the silhouette from being too baggy, i would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. i was pretty sure i would wear this look forever. the shirts allowed me express myself with cool sayings like ‘there’s no crying in baseball’ and ‘universität heidelberg,’ the bike shorts showed off my muscular legs, and the fanny pack held all my trolley tokens. i was nailing it on a daily basis. find something like this for yourself as soon as possible.”

HAHAHAHHAHAHA #GPOY. Tina Fey is my hero.
Most supportive, caring, brilliant bunch of folks I know. We’re not super close to anyone outside our immediate circle in the US (parents, sister, uncle on my mom’s side, aunt & cousin), but those that are here are my everything. No words can articulate how highly I think of my family & how proud I am of them. They are the definition of the American Dream and inspire me every single day to be better than I am. The older I’ve gotten, and further away from home I’ve moved, the more I’ve come to appreciate their words of wisdom, their kindness and their dedication to providing the best they can for their children.
Slowly coming to terms with the fact that no matter how diligent I am, my first NY apartment will probably be the size of a shoebox. Honestly - who knew that 100-200sqft living spaces even existed?? Not only that, it’s double the price of my current apartment. Damn it New York, I didn’t bust my ass for the last couple years to feel like a broke college student upon graduation! Blasphemy.

I went through a “pointy toe” heel phase a few years ago and bought nothing but pointy toed heels. Of course, I eventually got over it, and now they’re all on the verge of being donated/sold in this coast-to-coast move. I think this look is trying to convince me otherwise…
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)
Immensely so.
Since graduating in December, I’ve been drafting thoughts and reflections on my tremendously pricey undergraduate education, which has always concluded in a growing appreciation for academia. While I understand that a structured system may not be meant for everyone, it speaks volumes of those who are able to finish it, and finish it well. As my father always says: “It is about the process, not the end result. Everyone can do what they want to do, but not everyone can do what they need to do.”
My education has taught me more than just communication theory, how to use pentool and Daoist proverbs. It’s provided me a new world view in which to analyze problems, diagnose solutions and ultimately contribute back to society. It’s instilled in me a discipline I was never able to self-impose. Over three and a half years, my education has changed me from a potential dropout to someone contemplating a dual Masters and potential doctorate.
If there is anything more important than education, it is our educators.
on the last minute remaining and I keep getting this “your other mac is not responding” message. WTF?
