the one where i introduce myself

The past 19 years of my life have been a whirlwind. I’ve lived in three different states in over five different cities and towns, traveled to Europe, learned things about myself that I would’ve never dreamed of, and moved 500 miles from home to live with 2,300 other people who are probably just as confused […] Continue reading

Modern Folk Lore and Cultural Revelations

Of the many older books on my dorm room bookshelf (including some older texts and local histories), one always seems to catch the eye of my visitors.  Bound in a hard blue cover, Tom Burnam’s 1975 book The Dictionary of Misinformation debunks many of the myths and legends surrounding famous proverbs and sayings.  From the meaning of “assault and… Continue reading

Selfies and The Craze of Self-Photography

A few weeks ago, General Colin L. Powell created an overnight Internet sensation by posting an image of himself, taken in the 1950s.  The image, capturing the young and dapper Powell in black-and-white, was a direct response to the “selfie” taken by Ellen DeGeneres at the 2014 Oscars.  General Powell boldly proclaimed that he “was… Continue reading

My Garden Was A Bed of Weeds

So here we are halfway into February and it’s about time to begin planting
a garden.

Ok, that sounds fantastic. Right? Hours of sweaty work in July, dirt that
refuses to be removed from underneath fingernails and the worst part…
weeding. But you know what? I don’t care. I love gardening. But perhaps you
think gardening isn’t for you. Or perhaps that you don’t have time in your
incredibly busy life. Perhaps you think you kill everything. Or perhaps you
just don’t like vegetables.

Whatever your reason, let’s just accept that fresh produce is delicious and
completely worth the time and effort it takes to grow it. So how exactly
does one grow things? Gardening seems like a crazy impossible thing to get
started with. I mean, there are farmers who have been doing it for years
and they’re still learning new things! How am I supposed to plant things
and keep them alive if there are 75 year old dudes who have been doing it
their entire lives and they don’t even totally get it?

To this I say, “Don’t worry. It’s really quite easy and we’ll start a
garden for you in 5 easy steps.” Continue reading
