So I’ve had enough people read some of my book to realize a couple things.
First, pretty much everyone who reads it says that I’m a quote “good writer.” Thanks, everyone. Really. It’s hard to tell sometimes and get honest feedback. I had ONE professor in college (a Vietnam vet who taught a class on media [...]

The following is a conversation about a girl I met in the final moments of 2008 {the white “Russian”. She mentioned a passion for Russian literature, and that’s how I remember her.}. I gave her my card, but I’m not sure if she’ll call. She is a quiet girl.

I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.”
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work.

I like the number 50.
A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient.
So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE: C'mon, I need somebody to check my math. My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first week) [...]

As mentioned a little while back, I am putting the blog on hold and writing a book.
O.k. I didn’t do such a good job of that (as the latest posts can testify) but that hasn’t stopped the book from coming along nicely.

It turns out I have a lot closer ties to terrorism than even I thought. You might too.
If you have ever given money to a hospital, you might be a terrorist.
If you have ever helped the poor, especially some of the poorest in the world, you might be a terrorist.
If you have ever given money, [...]

Here is the follow-up to the previous video, “Why I’m Voting for Barack Obama.” Astute readers and viewers will note the change in tense and the change in tone of the videos.
