It’s snowing! And sticking! It feels a little bit symbolic. It’s something I’ve waited for, something I’m happy about, but something that signals a lot of work to come. A lot of work.
Yes, I supported Obama. I was in the minority here in Utah, and as I looked across to the other side of the [...]
The Master said: ‘Artful speech and an ingratiating demeanour rarely accompany virtue.’ -The Analects
I studied Confucius’ Analects while at Scranton. I loved it- I realised that I was ill equipped to live the ideals, but wanted to try. I first heard/had a conversation about praise in my philosophy of conscience class. The [...]
MAJOR props to Anderson Cooper. It’s no secret among those who know me that I have always respected (read: had a little crush on) Anderson Cooper. He is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, and although he was born into an incredible fortune, he went to school and pursued a career. Aside from being [...]
Dear Utah Drivers:
I got up this morning to find the greatest snow on earth covering our little area of Utah. It was breathtaking…and annoying. I knew that I had to go to work- and that meant braving the roads.

So. BYU offers quite an odd selection of people to have classes with. I just got finished with William James- a class I’m taking from the same professor that I took Kierkegaard from last semester. I love Professor Paulsen, and I like his emphasis, so I knew I’d like the James course. As I started [...]
So, my time with Wells Fargo bank has been rather uneventful, til now. Except for the outrageous amount of mail they insist on sending me, I think we’ve been pretty happy together. Considering that I’m getting married in two weeks and John has been with his credit union a lot longer than I’ve [...]
An interesting drive to work this morning. In case anyone was wondering, Provo is officially the worst place in the entire world to own and operate a motor vehicle. It is downright dangerous to drive here. I have never in my entire life seen so many aggressive, reckless, selfish drivers in one [...]
