Occupy Wall St.
Quick theories.
I’m for it. I didn’t know what they stood for when I visited them last Sunday with my photographer friend. He asked them questions and what they stood for. It didn’t cross my mind to do so, and in a way I was intimidated by their strength and clear confidence in their beliefs (some of which I didn’t see as justified, based on that they said, but that is...

Five Things I'm Grateful For
Aside from the times that I’m in some sort of slump, I’m continuously trying to improve myself. The problem is, it still seems that more often I’m making lists and thinking of things I could do and how happy I could be, than putting my foot down and actually doing something.
For 2011, I’m proud of myself for: moving out. paying my rent. learning to clean my floors....
Bridesmaids & My Second Wedding
I watched the movie Bridesmaids yesterday with Dewey 222; Disi, Deepti, and Caro at the AMC Theatre on Second Ave. near 31st St. It was my first time viewing anything at that location, and it was one that Deepti grew up with. Prior to watching this movie, we had dinner and drinks at Bar XII in Murray Hill, just a few short streets away. I didn’t like the atmosphere in the venue from the...

Taoism & NYC
I learned the basics of Taoism during my World Religions class in Florence a couple years back. I recall being captured and gratified by its fundamentals. Over time, I have forgotten what specifically those ideals are. I “always meant to” go back to it sooner, sooner than the day that is today - a day that I am home from work and regaining my mental health. I had a headache, and I was...
Nails
I got my nails done with my roommate tonight. I used her Chanel nail polishes - “Marilyn”, a bubbly medium pink with shimmer on my toes, and “Noir Ceramic”, a light black with gray shimmer. I wasn’t too happy with the toes - I really should’ve tested it out beforehand. I do like the color of my nails, but that’s the only redeeming factor for the cheap...
