Real quick -you may be wondering where the eff we've been the last week. Well, right now I'm sitting at a hostel in Nashville with my lovely roommate, a Swiss, and two Norwegian fellows, recapping the events of last evening. --- I guess that doesn't really clarify much. Basically, to reward ourselves for being awesome, the roomie and I decided to take a road-trip through the south. Well, "road-trip" via buses, trains and planes. Like I wasn't riding the Megabus enough as it is. --- The route … [Read more...]

May 4, 2012 By 2 Comments
How pumped is everybody that Cinco De Mayo falls on a Saturday this year? And how many of you are going to parties called "Cinco De Drinko" this weekend? *Raises hand* --- Before we all start hallucinating from tequila intake, I thought I'd throw down some knowledge on the history of this holiday, so I turned to the most reliable source of information since Encyclopedia Britannica went out of print earlier this year: Wikipedia.com... --- "It is celebrated nationwide in the United States … [Read more...]

Like most relationships built on lust and infatuation, it only took about a month to go from complete … [Read more...]

My mother insisted that I wasn't fat, I was just "built differently" than those around me. -------- That worked for a while, but young kids can be cruel, and I was teased for my appearance throughout elementary and middle school- even being coined the undeniably clever nickname "Angelard" (you can laugh, I know, it's funny) by some of my classmates. It also … [Read more...]
