Last spring I attended one of those murder mystery dinner parties. If you’ve never been to one, here’s how they work: the host orders a kit that pre-assigns characters to all the guests, provides each of them with certain actions/phrases they will have to bring about throughout the night, and basically sets up a fake… Read More A Great Evening for Murder
The apartment where I lived my senior year of college was a little… non-posh. I lived there with two of my best friends and Colin. Colin deserves his own blog post, so I won’t go into details about him now. Our apartment held a treasure trove of memories, but again, it wasn’t elegant. There were… Read More If You Can’t Stand the Heat
October 15, 2014 Since I was a little boy, I’ve had this weird, deep desire to go to Italy. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s because I thought gladiator fights were cool. Maybe it’s the thousands of years of history that attracted me. Maybe I just really love pizza. Whatever the reason, my dream… Read More On the Way to Paradise
October 2, 2014 Greetings from the beautiful Portugal!!! I didn’t know what I was expecting out of this country. I knew that it was the forerunner when it came to exploration when the world was flat and whatnot, but I knew nothing about the demographics of the nation. Turns out: it’s wonderful! I visited Lisbon,… Read More Discovering Portugal
September 17, 2014 So, I had the most random day of my life in France today. We are currently docked in Le Havre, which is a port city and that’s about it. To be honest, there’s just not much to do here. I have plans for the next two days (tomorrow I’m going to see… Read More Bonjour!
As I innocently strolled out of a bustling shopping mall where I helped surprise a friend for her birthday, I saw the man. I saw the man in the printed shirt that looked as if a child had taken paint and just went to town on it. My thought was (you guessed it), “What are… Read More Smack Down
I’m a sucker for card tricks. You know that face kids make when they’re awestricken with amazement? Eyes wide. Brows up. Mouth gracing the floor. Yeah, that’s my face when I witness a good card trick. I’ve got a few great tricks up my sleeve (see what I did there) but I am not a… Read More Is This Your Card? No? Well, This is Awkward.
As just about everyone knows, today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the first day of Lent and the upcoming Easter holiday. People everywhere are giving up luxuries for the next forty days: from meat to Twitter and from gossiping to cigarettes. I’ve never really participated in Lent, because I’ve always thought of it as more… Read More 40 Days and 40 Nights
Since everyone seems to be looking back on the year they’ve had, I figured I would do the same. This isn’t going to be a humorous post, nor does it have a “What Are This?” moment, but this is my look back on my year. Let’s see… I began 2013 with the hopes it would… Read More My Year – 2013
With my starting college this year, I’ve made a plethora of new friends from all over the state. A few of my best friends and I wanted to get together to celebrate Christmas, and I volunteered to host them at my home. However, I didn’t consider how difficult finding my home would be for them.… Read More GPS: Global Problematic System
