Two Years in Seattle
On August 24, 2014 I arrived in Seattle to start my new life. I had never been to the city before, and didn’t know a soul. I remember how I felt that day: excited, and scared silly. I felt like I was in a foreign country. Sometimes I still do. In retrospect, I really think…

I Don’t Know Graffiti, but I Know What I Like
For some time now, ugly electrical boxes in certain parts of Jacksonville, Florida were being painted by an anonymous artist who called himself Keith Haring’s Ghost. I always enjoyed coming across this delightful work. It brightened up things that were otherwise nothing but eyesores and places for people to glue advertisements. Frankly, Jacksonville suffers from…

This week I applied for a job on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan. I qualify for it, and what the heck? Nothing is holding me here. I could use an adventure! Since then I’ve been reading about that beautiful island, and my imagination has taken off. I can already visualize my life there.…
