Tonight when I was driving home from my dead end retail job at 11pm I passed the on ramp for the interstate. I can not tell you how tempted I was to get on that interstate and just keep driving north.
I don’t want to be here.
The past few days I haven’t had to work — I haven’t had to do anything. So, I didn’t get out of bed until almost noon and when I finally got...

Grad school?
Even though I have more important and more immediate things to think about I have recently been giving some of my thought time to think about what Grad school options I might want to look into after my year in Japan teaching. Of course, this is kind of ridiculous because after a year I might be a ‘completely’ different person with different direction and different ideas… but of...

Yo siempre te recordaremos, Nicaragua.

Yoani Sanchez, a Cuban blogger.
This is my favorite blog to read, she writes about her life in Cuba and the many political issues of Cuba. She has been threatened and arrested for some of the things she has said in this blog, definitely something everyone should read.
