The Hills (08.04.06)
Where do we draw the line? When apathy grows into delusion, when the hills of Lebanon are more obscure than The Hills, where is this line drawn?. As of late, I have found it increasingly harder to take people seriously when they are oblivious to World affairs; the most I get sometimes is a grumble and a moan over gas prices... [read on]
Latte Lucidity (06.11.06)
Indecision can be a bitch. A hasty decision is much worse. For example, a man enters a coffee shop and deliberates between a small coffee and a large coffee.

Evolution is fantastic because the world is constantly being filtered, and that which is built to last persists, leaving theorists to conclude that the world is constantly improving.

This Modern Love? (03.19.06)
Modernity is not your typical movement. Its history can encompass the decade between the two World Wars, the 20th century as a whole, or the entirety of the human tradition; as we have been obsessed with progress since our inception... [read on]
Welcome to New York (03.13.06)
Live anywhere in the tri-state area and you've earned the right to say, "I'm from New York City." It is the reason modernist architecture was created; its sprawling skyline can instill fear and confusion in the most seasoned tourists... [read on]
Dreaming in Digital (03.13.06)
Serving as one of the latest reincarnations of the classical biodata, the Ipod playlist reveals as much about a person as their educational accomplishments. Similarly, one's choice of literature can uncover political views, linguistic background, and emotional development.... [read on] |
