You don’t have to turn around, Darth Vader hit the pyre a long time ago. In a galaxy far far away.
Also, the guns have started again. (Probably because they don’t need to worry about Vader.)
Think about it. Also, I was recently in both Italy and China. Pictures.

So. China.
Well, everyone here speaks mandarin, which means that I can’t communicate verbally with anyone here. Sometimes it’s a non-issue, say, at the grocery store, you pick out what you want and you hand them some money. Other times, like when you’re at a restaurant, the communication barrier becomes nearly impossible to get around. When [...]

As I write, I am currently 35000 feet above sea level, in seat 44D on Emirates Airline flight 302. Twelve hours ago, I was on the ground in Rome. Soon, I’ll be on the ground in Shanghai. I’ve consumed four cups of coffee and gone to the bathroom five times on this flight. My goal [...]

Roma: The land of caffeine and alcohol.
Rome is incredible.I’m going to try to mention things that I found fascinating and different from life in the northeast United States.
When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the graffiti everywhere. It was actually really disheartening, seeing what could have been pristine architecture covered in filth. Now, [...]

Disembarked the ship today, and it couldn’t have come sooner. Nearly the whole cruise felt like a hangover mixed with a bad dream. 23 hour days, combined with a heavy workload and the constant motion of the ship created a monster of a problem for my equilibrium and my sleep schedule. The food, while very [...]

First impressions of my classmates are generally all positive. We met today for the first time as a full group, and everyone is pretty likable. Every person brings a very unique personality, background and skill set to the table, and so far, everyone has been very laid back while simultaneously focused. My classmates are all [...]

Today I woke up on my girlfriend’s couch on Long Island. Tonight, I will be falling asleep to the gentle sway and dull vibration of the Queen Mary 2, somewhere on the dark Atlantic. It’s quite an… impressive ship. At fourteen decks tall, it’s far more imposing than I imagined it. My first thought upon [...]

I’ve caught the photographer’s bug. Recently I purchased a Canon Rebel XS, and in the past few days, I’ve taken over 1100 pictures. I’m going to select the good ones and post them on my picasa web album. Check them out at http://picasaweb.google.com/anyjdoe3713/
In other news, I’m leaving the country in a few days, and spending [...]
Ketchup

If you don’t use it, you’re an elitist.
As everyone knows, President Obama recently ordered a cheeseburger. With no ketchup, and fancy dijon mustard. How snobby! How elitist!
Why isn’t MSM crucifying the Americans on Food Network for creating and then broadcasting their non-standard, elitist burgers of snobbiness and elitism? Pinapple Teriyaki Burger? Curry Pork Burger? [...]

Red indicates my extreme distaste. These ‘musicians’ ‘create’ mass-produced pop-crap.
Black indicates either my ignorance of the artist, or they’re simply not good enough to be bold.
Bold indicates a certain level of respect I have for said musician, either because of deep/witty lyrics, amazing talent, or I actually really like their music.
This list is in order [...]
