Let me preface this post by this announcement:I am a huge wimp. I am aware of this fact, in fact if anything I am now a bit more brutally aware of this fact than I was previously. There are three things that have brought my wimptitude to my attention. One of which is...

When I heard that Gogol Bordello was coming to Seattle I literally squealed with glee. I originally saw them in Tucson at the urging of my friend who is Russian. Russian Gypsy Punk, I thought, sure why not?It only took one concert to get me hooked. There is something...

Adjusting back to the real world after City Year is surprisingly difficult. It’s not that I have a problem with Seattle (it’s beautiful and there are always tons of things going on) but I’m suffering from something I haven’t had to worry about for a while: a lack of...

Imagine, that you’re in central Siberia near the Stony Tunguska river a little over a hundred years ago. You’re hanging out at a small trading post when all of a sudden the northern sky splits into two and catches fire. You are thrown to the ground as an explosion...

I finally have a job! Deciding to stay in Seattle was a bit of a risk, I’ll admit it, but just how much of a risk it was didn’t really resonate with me until I had to empty my savings out in order to pay for the deposit on my new place, the lease having been up at the...

According to legend every year the naga of the Mekong River honors the anniversary of the return of the Buddha from the heavens by sending balls of fire skyward. These glowing red orbs rise from the river in majestic silence, accompanied by much celebration on the...

Can a stereotype kill you? Eighty-six percent of all adolescent suicides are male. And it doesn’t get much better with age; across all age groups, males are four times more likely to commit suicide than females. In fact, suicide is the eighth leading cause of death...

In this long line of kennels Chewy is by far one of the best behaved. A beautiful chocolate lab he’s eager for attention, eyes and ears perked for the faintest sight of fingers coming through the grate for a scratch. He’s eager to please, acting out commands of “sit”...
