Been there. (i.e. young, in love, in Europe [incl. Paris], and seized by need for a passionate kiss)

Every time I get super itchy in various parts of my body, I think to myself, “Oh God. I’m getting the chicken pox.”
Interesting fact about me - I have never gotten the chicken pox. Supposedly I got a vaccination for it because I was born in Taiwan. But I am not sure how to validate this other than to just take my parents’ words for it.
"The Secret Meeting that Changed Rap Music and Destroyed a Generation" -
This is a crazy read. Not completely unbelievable, but it always shocks and awes when people find the courage to go public.
Spent half my Triton Alumni Discovery Interview telling the c/o ‘14 poli sci undergrad of my alma mater that college is for tools. She told me that I was wise and proceeded to ask me for career advice.
Only a 19 or 20 year old would think a 24 year old in her not-give-a-shit phase was “wise”. Haha.
In all seriousness, was nice to reconnect with the Triton network. Walking on campus was a trip - all those headphoned skating zombies…

What’s the best form of birth control?
— Abstinence. Homosexuality.
It’s thing.
Hah. Awesome. Romney is actually neighbors with the CEO of the company I used to work for. Very fitting that they all live in that general vicinity…

Ye. No wonder I got swag.
My Note: Education should not be a commodity and higher education institutions should not be run like corporations. Rather, they should be a medium for free exchange of knowledge and ideas so that anyone with the desire may come and be inspired to be innovative and to discover ways to make the greatest contribution they possibly could in furthering the evolution of mankind. It’s such a simple concept, yet (at least, in the US) we seem to have lost sight of this higher purpose. College = better (middle management level) job? What a way to live.
Totally in opposition to the point of this image, but —
Fight for men too. Black, white, transgender, Mexican, Chinese, British, rich, poor, gay, straight, etc. etc. etc.
Fight for the dignity of all humans. For fighting for one race or another, one gender or another, one class above another - fighting like this only serves to divide us. Fight for the individual. Fight for the right to think for oneself and make one’s own choices. Fight for self-empowerment. Fight for freedom, not ‘equality’, because who are we trying to be equals with — Wall Street moguls? Middle class Americans? CEOs across the world? The Queen of England?
There is no equality in this world, just balance. Only when we fight for our SELF can we strengthen our human race as a whole. That, after all, is the point, right?

Oh babe…
That actually is how I dance - just a little wiggle in all directions.

I might have to start a new blog just to bookmark all the awesome clothes and hairstyles I see on my dashboard (hoarding them in my ♥ section makes me seem materialistic). I know I could just as easily use my dead Pinteret account. I know.
