I really do believe in the movement, the gravity of the issue at hand and the powerful manner in which the protesters have decided to go about their campaign. Honestly …

There are really only 6.5 ways to meet someone (to date)

admin - October 17, 2011

There’s been a lot of where-have-all-the-good-people-to-date-gone? talk around and about me as of late. Frankly I’m not sure where they are now, and I’m not sure I knew where they were before.

In addition to people in my peer group getting engaged like it’s going out of style, they’re also “moving in” like there’s no tomorrow. Spoiler Alert: I may or may not be among those numbers within the coming year. Let’s leave it at … I’ve allowed the discussion to to be left on the table. This is exciting. This is meaningful. This is a development …
