The past ten days in Boston with my amazing...
And now very soon I’m leaving for Georgia. I won’t be able to take my car there at first because the Virginia DMV is the epitome of slow bureaucracy but I’ll have it later in June, which is okay, it’s only sentimentality really.
Nothing will stop me, and while I will miss Sarah terribly over the next seven months, it’s good that as a person usually so adverse...

I’ve had such a great sophomore year. I was sick for a lot of the fall, and I had a skull fracture, but it’s been absolutely fantastic. I went to Haiti, Rugby won championships, I made a lot of great new friends and kept the ones that really matter to be. I approached things with courage and an open mind, and now I have a titanium plate in my forehead to always remind me that I’m...
fuck
I might not be able to squeeze out three minors. French for sure, so now I have to decide between public health, education, environmental science, or statistics. Fuck.

I had no idea what love was until I met Sarah
All the other girls, no. I’ve never felt this way before, I never thought I could feel this way about anybody.

I didn’t think I would ever even consider such a thing. And then I met Sarah.

I have so enjoyed my time on the rugby team here, I’ll miss these crazy dudes when I’m abroad in Senegal. And Sarah. I’ve always been a fool, but now just a fool in love.
Never give up!
Never give in! I will be on my grind tomorrow.

I, who have always been easily as afraid of commitment as most anything, just had a conversation with mt girlfriend about this summer and the next few months. We have been together in one way or another for six months, and because she’s going to Hungary and Croatia this summer, and then I’m going to Senegal and she’s going to Ghana in the fall, we might not see each other for six...

So on Saturday I have this rugby match. On Sunday this 14 page paper is due. On Tuesday, I have an applied calc test. On wednesday I have that bullshit portfolio due. And I have that presentation for Peace & Conflict Resolution due.
I’m so sick of all this work and bullshit. And why is housing for next year becoming so fucking difficult?
I just want to smoke with Sarah and cuddle.

And she loves me too. And we’re so perfect together. I don’t know why I ever dated younger women, older women are where it’s at. :)

Today at the Japanese Festival I saw this guy standing on the corner that was holding a huge sign with a list that consisted of homosexuals, abortionists, drunks, witches (wth?) and so on and at the bottom of the sign is said something like ‘Hell awaits you.’
……..
I take it really personally…
I just have a question on the whole homosexuality thing. As a more moderate...

Haiti was pretty wild man.
Yo tumblr. Don’t tumble much anymore, might retire this old account soon. I love my life right now, this has really been a great semester after a rocky start. And apparently my Swedish girlfriend’s red hair comes from viking ancestors. That’s pretty cool.
So I haven't used tumblr in a long time
Mostly cause I’m so busy. Got a kickass internship, a kickass girlfriend, a kickass rugby team, kickass friends, a kickass family, and a kickass life right now, despite being so busy.
But I’m going to Haiti today, and I feel that warrants some sort of post. Rural Haiti, Fondwa, up in the mountains is going to be so beautiful. Can’t wait!

The most arrogant thing in the world
is to know the full scale of size of the universe, the length of human and natural history, the full scale of time of the entire universe, and say to yourself
“This was all created by a sky wizard in six days for one species, and he put these works and lessons into the heads of illiterate desert dwellers only two thousand years ago,”
and actually believe that. Religion is not...

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Having sex has NOTHING to do with self-worth.
crystalsavestheday:
Let me repeat that having sex has NOTHING to do with self-worth.
Self-worth is based on so many different things. How you see yourself, how successful you are, personal accomplishments, your goals and dreams. Believing that NOT having sex keeps your self-worth intact diminishes how you see yourself to being a one-dimensional sexual being who’s only worthy if “virginal”

Why am I an atheist / no longer christian / much...
While people have been asking this to me lately, I don’t really have the time today (or possibly ever) to write the story of my first deconversion here, but what I will say very quickly:
I don’t believe in fairy tales,
I don’t support the preservation of iron age morals that discriminate against women, minorities, homosexuals, and essentially anyone that doesn’t believe...
Valentine's Day was awesome
I have an awesome girlfriend :D
