Matchbooks. You don’t see them much anymore, but my family used to collect them. They make a cool way to see some different places you’ve been… Some different restaurants where you’ve eaten… like The Treasure Ship in Panama City– this famous landmark restaurant burnt down about two weeks ago…. sad to see it go. And Hemingway’s —
Packed up all my stuff today and relocated back home for the summer. As everybody decamped in the dorm, I watched people ship out for LA, Vancouver, South Korea, South Carolina…. a whole slew of places. It was super cool to see all our diverse dorm crew – each in a packing frenzy – with

Found an old school, film point-and-shoot camera in a drawer the other day. And then found out that I love the grainy, rough and tumble feel of the photos. : )

Atlanta is great, but there’s barely enough space to drive down the road, let alone leave your car immobile anywhere. Emory, however, does offer a few
I want to update my old site. I want to bust out some new wallpapers, a music-vid, screenshots, the whole shebang. But. There’s this time issue. There just doesn’t seem to be a lot of it these days.
