How To Measure?

One of the things I love about JadedStaccato is that she keeps me on my toes: nice resolutions- how would you measure your performance on items 1 through 4? =) – JadedStaccato This brings me to today’s entry and the answer to that important question. I would measure the goals in relation to today’s status […]

I Resolve To…

A recap of the last year’s events: I gave Lisa a diamond ring and Lisa and we began our wedding planning. I worked in New York City and stayed at various locations in and out of the city. I took a new job, having turned down two other (retrospectively worse) offers. I read almost the […]

Recent Going-Ons

This month, I started a new job that will hopefully be better for our future than the previous. Firstly, I will get to be home more than I have been in the past few months–I’ve been in NYC a lot. Secondly, I’ll make more money. The job is going well so far, and I can […]

To Live

Men are born knowing how to die–our task is to learn how to live.

Thanksgiving!

Another Thanksgiving has passed with tidings of joy and love. I am grateful for the time I have with Lisa, each extra day we share together. At times, life seems so utterly short to me–so much so that I strive to breathe in every second. However, when I hold Lisa in my arms, inhaling her […]

Travel Arrangements

Yesterday, the (future) wife and I went shopping at Montgomery Mall. Aside from a few personal items, articles of clothing and other luxuries, we also got a few travel brochures. We stopped to eat an almond pretzel from Auntie Anne’s and flip through them. After looking through the Asia brochure, we thought about whether we […]

Away

I’m on the twenty-ninth floor of the Ramada New Yorker two blocks from Penn Station in midtown Manhattan. There’s no central-air here (only one of those air conditioners you stick out of a window), and the room feels historic–as if it hasn’t changed since before I was born. The comforter bears a floral design of […]

3 Reasons To Get Married

I know some people may wonder why Lisa and I, yet so young, have decided to get married. These people may be even more amazed when we tell them that we wanted to get married last year, but waited for family reasons. For me, the decision to get married was a simple one, and there […]

Delegation of Destiny

I admit that there is a small resentment. It steals from my id, some feral beast out of the frontier, slipping passed the more deliberate, refined elements of my persona. Tied in matrimony, it’s natural to give the whole of your being to your spouse, but what miniscule fraction of me not tied to Lisa’s […]

Bell Pepper and Mouth

Here are a couple of clay pieces I did in a sculpture class Lisa and I took at Fleisher Art Memorial in South Philly. The class was broken up into different sections including: fruit, plants, cloth, body parts, and machinery. My pieces for the fruit and body parts sections are below.

June Birthday Card

This birthday card template features radial text around a portrait of June. This was done in illustrator. The font used was lost at the time the image was generated, hence the collapsed radial text. June Birthday Card Template (PDF)

Here are some final updates on my life before this blog is closed, for those few who are interested and don’t feel like asking personally I graduated Drexel University on June 11, 2005. The commencement began at around 9:00 AM and was nothing special. I now have a BS in Computer Science and minor in […]
