Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing RNDA
They took him to a big metal pull barn that was the size of a hangar. Inside the air was cool and dry like they were air conditioning and de-humidifying all day, everyday.

Excitement is fuel not product

Excitement is helpful a helpful vibe to produce to. It makes working on a project more fun.Sometimes it can even feel more fun than having fun in the more traditional sense: for example going out for margaritas or jetskiing. 

But after a few hundred days of writing daily I've recently...

October's Formal - 6

You wouldn't believe how much attention went into this one event. In fact for the past two weeks I don't think my friends talked about anything else. I'll also admit that I wasn't free from all this excitement. I too couldn't wait for this Saturday to come.

But my date cancelled...

October's Formal - 5

After taking the first sip of my third beer I wondered why the thought even entered my head at all. I didn't even share the sentiment with my friends who were already five or six drinks into pregraming because there would be no point. It was a stupid thought anyways....

October's Formal - 4

Until that moment I could've never imagined spending a Saturday night reading inside the cafe . In fact reading a book without it being required for a class already felt foreign enough to me. But watching Sarah talk about her cozy plans for the night rubbed off on me. For...

Do, delegate, drop William Liao illuminated a deep, root-source of organizational inefficiency and teammate misery: an outdated delegation process.

Organizations regularly upgrade their software because it's easier to see how inefficient software slows them down.* But organizations rarely grasp how inefficient their delegation...

October's Formal - 3

It was Sarah P from Chemistry. I felt silly having her ask why I was here rather than preparing for the formal because we didn't know each other that well. We had worked in the same group in labs chemistry labs twice and we chatted in the hallway between classes,...

October's Formal - 2

When I arrived at the cafe , my mystery date wasn't there. I mean maybe she was, but she never approached me. I stood around flipping between checking my phone and examining the guests, until eventually I grew anxious about loitering in the cafe without buying anything. It didn't look...

October's Formal

Everybody I had known until that one October attended that Autumn Formal. I was the only one to miss out on it. 

Skipping the formal wasn't my plan. In fact I was dressed to the nines when I got that mysterious text message. I had been re-gelling my hair in...

Rooibos

They bonded over rooibos tea. In college it would've been late night coffee or beer , but by this time, they were more responsible. So uncaffeinated rooibos it was.

The sun set early in that time they first met: transition into late autumn. Even though the days would become shorter in...

A lot of the thing happening in my life looks weird. Things that don't seem to fit who Abe is. But when thinking about what exactly makes these things weird, I realize it has nothing to do with the things themselves being weird and more with the fact that I'm...
