Going Back to Roots
The new year rekindled my love for pygmy elephants. There’s something so majestic and charming about shrinking something gigantic.
Yes, I really love pygmy elephants.

I Have Been Thinking
On many things. I suppose things is an apt term, my thoughts scattered from making potato soup to the objectification of women. I thought about the point of government and the sky’s immensity once its obstructions disappear. I thought about Cory Booker and Erwin Rommel and wondered what drives great men. I thought about paying for my tuition and hoping my card didn’t bounce...
Eek!
Part of me wants to be lovey dovey and write some lovey dovey words and sing serenade-esque songs and recite really smooth poetry and buy flowers and burn incense.
Then the majority of me goes, “Eek!”

I want to comfort, to understand your pains and grief, but I won’t. I will sit here and dwell on them, like the wallflower that I am.

Anonymous asked: why the hell would you waste your time reading the koran if you are not religious and especially if you’re not an arab?
Wow. I’m not sure how to even start with this one. Actually, that’s not true; I know exactly where to begin.
First of all, not all Arabs are Muslim (and not…

Rest in peace my friend.
Some days ago, I tried writing a paper in the guise of a light-hearted kid, someone who could take a joke and just as easily spit one, who could turn a smile as easily as the click of a pen. I realize this is not me. I am morose as I am cheery, flighty as I am fidgety, frustrated as I am delighted by the smallest of details. Children grow up in a world of lies, but, knowing this fact, they...

Words with Friends is a Scrabble-like game.
American Airlines declined to comment.
Baldwin is known for his bad temper.
In 2007, the actor left a nasty voice mail tirade for his young daughter, calling her a “rude, thoughtless little pig.”
He later apologized and wrote a book inspired by that incident.

I am going to go to bed today, realizing the past three months of my life have been a waste. What I learned of the stars and space, of different cultures and philosophy and economics was good, but I am supposed to be an adult. I am supposed to discover passions I never had, to laugh harder than I have before, to just do whatever I wanted. It’s all so unsubstantial.

In the early evening hours of February 6, 1962, President John F. Kennedy summoned his Press Secretary Pierre Salinger to the Oval Office and entrusted Salinger with a serious, time-sensitive task.
“Pierre, I need some help,” the President said. Salinger responded, “I’ll be glad to do…

I want to hear what dancing hears, appears, mirrors you, blasting crock-pot, shot-mott dots for you, and you, and you, you.
You is a Set of Blazed periods. Of missed mornings. And other things.
You is a Base of Sawdust. Ghross pleasures. Tiny feet.
You are annoying, and rude, and probably a fan of Montel Mondays when you nap in the morning. You make pasta like a fish eats beans. You are...
