Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things →
It’s been about a week since former NPR news analyst Juan Williams uttered his famous “When I get on a plane” speech on “The O’Reilly Factor.” In response to Williams’ comments, an anonymous blogger started a Tumblr called “Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things.” It’s a pretty brilliant concept:
Former NPR analyst Juan Williams, among other ignorant people, has an irrational fear of Muslims,...

Feeling Sad Makes Us More Creative →
ramblings
I’m sitting here going brain dead. I’ve been studying for nine hours straight at this point, and nothing is sinking in. All I can think about is Thanksgiving, then winter break, then spring break, then summer. I’m not sure if I want to be in college right now.
I’ve realized that the biggest change in college is that you no longer have to make plans with friends. Instead,...

Blol Soup.: you're alone all the time. →
blol-soup:
That’s what it comes down to. That’s the well-kept secret. When they talk about living independently for the first time, it’s not about doing your own laundry or waking yourself up in the morning or doing your homework without anyone to remind you. Independent is a fancy word for alone, and that’s why so many capable people struggle. People who thought that they were...

Word of advice
I was reading an article today in which some guy asked how he could match his date’s outfit to some HS dance along with some other questions. The writer’s response follows:
“First off, don’t match your date. There is nothing lamer.”
DAMN. Wish I had read that four years ago

Time Capsule: October 13
i’ve decided to start a new segment. its a time capsule. you know the drill. the only difference is that i’ll create a new time capsule every month or so. the idea is to see how much college changes me. its really more of a personal experiment than anything else. this time capsule seems superfluous, seeing as i consistently update my blog with how i am doing and what i am thinking...
My First Four Loko: Bay to Breakers →
myfirstfourloko:
So I was up in San Francisco for the Bay to Breakers “race” - seven miles of wasted people in cock rings and morphsuits.
Saturday: Kicked the morning off with a loko and everything went downhill. Apparently rode in a cab for forty five minutes that ended up dropping us off where it picked us…
epic moment
today i decided to walk through the cemetery on the edge of UO campus. i figured that i see it every day, might as well walk through for a little perspective on life. anyway, i walked towards the steps and my song ended and shuffled into none other than ‘the funeral’ by band of horses at almost the exact moment i entered the cemetery. i was shuffling all songs. it was one of those...
update 10/11
nothing really substantial has occurred since i left corvallis. i am taking sixteen credits at UO including chem 221+227 (lab), philosophy 216, arabic 101, and badminton 1. i have been generally pleased with school. my arabic professor is funny, but not the best teacher. my philosophy prof is funny and a great teacher. my chem prof is neither funny nor good at teaching. time is creeping along and...
Toska →
No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague…
