I wrote this originally for class a few years ago but I felt I have to share it given the number of “Into the Wild” themed posts I’ve been seeing. It is interesting how two different people can approach the same thing. Many will read this book and take away a great sense of profundity and enlightenment, and many do, judging by the critical acclaim and “National Bestseller”...

You all need to calm down about this America...
No amount of whining or whinging (for those of you are britishly inclined) on the internet will stop American TV producers from happily watching what is successful on british television and reproducing it in america.  literally hundreds of shows in America are influenced by former versions on BBC alone.  HOWEVER, no story has been stolen and reshaped and retold like the story of sherlock holmes....

039. Flying the Skies Over Waukegan
July 2009.  On a relatively normal summer day in Wilmette, Kenny, a friend of mine invited me up to Waukegan to tag along for one of his regular flights in his Cherokee Piper - for those who don’t know, a Cherokee Piper is similar to a Cessna or any other small single engine, 4 person aircraft.  I helped taxi the plane from the hanger onto the tarmac, do some of the preflight checks, and...

a moment of silence for Schroeder Wang
Today, after his long battle with variable sunlight and inconsistent water supply, Schroeder Bambusa Vulgaris Wang succumbed to fatal dehydration.  His bright and refreshing spirit will not soon be forgotten as we reflect on how this tragedy can be avoided in the future. Sigh… look at how young he was back then. Remember to water your plants, and remember to let them soak in...

008. The Floor of the Malaga Airport
September 2010.  This is kind of a weird one, but the whole point of this list is to assess what really matters in the scheme of things.  While in Granada, we were fast approaching a nice long weekend, during which a great many of our friends were going to Oktoberfest, and we all decided to go to Paris.  Due to ridiculous bus schedules, we were forced to bus to the Malaga Airport the night...

047. Five Spice Waffle
January 2010.  At Sola Restaurant just north of Roscoe Village in Chicago, my family had brunch before seeing me off to a train back to school in Denver.  We had gone to Sola before, but only for dinner, and may I say, in general, the food is spectacular there, but this brunch did something different.  I ordered the Five Spice Waffle - Rhubarb Compote and Mascarpone Cream Cheese.  While the...

013. El Perro Semihundido
August, 2010.  Walking through the Prado in Madrid, we came to Francisco de Goya.  Some of his work wasn’t really grabbing me, but when we came to the Perro Semihundido (the half-sunken dog), I froze.  Most of my group moved on, but it was impossible to ignore the breadth of emotion captured in something so lacking in detail.  Goya never finished this, and he left very few notes about it,...

hey followers, i haven't posted much in a while
and since i’m done with classes now until January (oh yeah quarter system), I think i’m going to take the time to do some sort of list thing. In no particular order, I’m going to give you my aesthetic experiences.  Moments when something natural, or a work of art, or really anything struck me in such a way that I was fully alive in the moment.  That I was absorbed, resonating,...
