Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing change jar
It was strange keeping change from a customer.  Bloomingfoods wasn't a restaurant. there was no tipping. At first Drew thought about putting the extra cash into the register. Instead he pocketed it. Figured it would just be wasted if he put it into the register anyway. Although the store always...

Anybody interesting has their String Story

Lately I've been hearing a lot this quote from Sam Harris: you might have done something for the last time today. We go through our lives thinking we have endless horizons. That we will have yet another shot at everything. But this isn't true. Sometimes you tell a friend goodbye,...

Ghost

When I first met Robert, he was wearing glasses. I thought he was the silent, nerdy, Asian type. Not the kind who cracks jokes and has an American sense of humor but the kind who barely said anything at all. I'd known some of these growing up back in my...

Feeling like Bill Gates

30 year olds can look like 20 year olds from far away. It really depends on whether they kept in shape. Usually those who get children lose their figure fast and no longer fit in with the slim twenties bunch. I wasn't in shape, but I kept a slim figure,...

At 21 somebody knew me better than myself

I first desired to write a novel after experiencing a Haruki Murakami novel. My choice of the word experience isn't a typo, because until that point, I had read many books without ever feeling touched by the author from the other side. 

Usually reading felt like meeting in the middle. A...

Freedom hides in interesting places

Since our one hour lunches were unpaid, we actually had to start work by 8 AM to clock in a full workday. And since our operational hours listed start time as 8 AM, we actually had to arrive by 7:50 so that we could have the phone lines live on...

The perfect amount of time to be coworkers

So who did I get along with at The Office of Financial Aid? Everybody if the criteria of getting along means literally getting along, rather than the more colloquial usage of who you felt a connection with. No interpersonal drama between coworkers ever arose that summer. If we'd worked there...

More than decent

Recently I've been sending daily spam email to a few souls I've met throughout my life. The soul I've known the longest... is drewb . I was only 19 when we met, and I hadn't had that 'I need to become a writer'...

Getting along -- part 1

The computer lab was tucked in the basement of Student Administration. The Office of Financial Aid needed us nearby so they could peak in at anytime, but at the same time they didn't want the public eye to be able to see what was on our screens. For obvious reasons...

Nothing has changed

During my twenties I half-feared my love of reading. Some weeks I would dive deep into a book. Elation on Monday without the guilt. I could still write the rest of the week. Plus as a writer you were supposed to take days off to read. Get inspired.

With each passing...

I've now found a reason to write on Lifelog!

I was writing today's post about my practice session today, and I realized that I could write about my practice with Tennis on Lifelog . I noticed that I was trying to outline my progress and observations on here but it didn't fit with the usual stuff I write here....
