it's true. And sure, I was scared when I saw a man wearing a black cloak walking though my backyard. Even more scared when he turned out to be Satan, come to take the family dog, our little shi tzu, away.I knew I couldn't win. Dude, we're talking about SATAN here, but I turned into Batman and Batman's got some sweet moves. Then SATAN morphed his face into a set of red ghost teeth and chompted

"it's gonna cost you about $300, but trust me: it'll be worth it." Sophia was telling me all I need to do is get my teeth whitened. Maybe I should back up.The crazy black lady sitting next to me at the department of workforce services in downtown salt lake turned out to be mostly uncrazy. Actually, she turned out to be S.

"He's gonna rip my freaking glove!" I was thinking. Johnny, we'll call him, didn't want to get out of his sleeping bag. After all, it was 20 degrees out and all he was wearing was his long johns. Plus he hadn't moved for 2 days, save to get out of his sleeping bag to pee. "I'm comfortable" was his only response. But this kid had already ran from the program twice, and we weren't taking any

yep well I'm at home but I isn't. I'm in Zion National Park, one of the most beautiful places on earth and that's a fact. Here taking my Wilderness First Aid course: a 10 day class on....wilderness first aid. Work pays for half of it (it's $550!), so I decided to do it for me. So when I'm with you mountain biking everest and you take a bruiser, don't you worry none. So far we've learned..too much

Spent the last 6 days outin Eastern Utah working at a wilderness therapy program for at-risk teens. Don't be fooled. By "wilderness" they don't always mean "backpacking". We didn't move this last week. Just camped at the same spot the whole time. A little painstaking but a great first week back: the weather was great, the students not too challenging and a cool group of staff to work with.

i'm back in salt lake now. living with my parents, which is good: free food, free rent, and my parents are cool. And my plan is Portland in April, so hope is on the horizon. On my more exciting salt lake days I walk my parents two ancient Shi-Tzus. One (diogi) is blind, the other (poochini) is partially blind, fat and deaf. you can imagine how fun walking them is. Diogi's sight is so bad that

tonight was a little pocket of vassar. snuggly and warm and tucked in a ukranian bar somewhere in Manhattan's lower-east side. If you didn't go to vassar, than it's hard for me to explain my nostalgia. But I can say one thing: the community I loved in college I again felt when I visited BGI, the business school to which I am applying. Look at that last sentence. Appreciate my word order.

For those of you who don't know, grant is one of my oldest friends. 5th grade. He was watching a chess game in the park and I walked over to him. He looked up and said, "

"Does my hair look ok?" I asked "No!" She said with that black lady sass and then cackled. I took the 25 hour Amtrak up from Boca Raton Florida to Penn Station and am now in Queens.

i took 3 hours of the most impressively boring spanish class this week. I thought i knew all the tenses in spanish, but NOOOOO, this guy had to tell me there were 3 more that i´d never heard of. fuck him. i realized during the class that i was bored and that it was an emotional response rare in my life and that made me happy. i remember college, sitting in a class, just waiting for it to end.
