Malcolm Gladwell

Anyone ever heard of Malcolm Gladwell? Blink? Tipping Point?


Here's an interesting article about social change and social media (twitter etc.) where Mr. Gladwell argues that social media does not and cannot enact and create social change

Rainy Daze

Daily Thought: Every time it rains the mood around changes. Its like a switch everything grows quiet, animals disappear into their dens, people become more hushed and quiet. I kind of like the rain a lot. Its when you can have some peace and quiet whether your wrapped up in the library, chillen on your couch, or walking outside in the rain, your heads cleared.

Daily Thoughts

I'm "chillen" in TISCH library, which btw is absolutely beautiful, and I am actually studying for the first time in college. It's crazy what a difference it is to study in a library....


Anyway schools been going well. Intro to IR is by far my most interesting and intellectually challenging course. I love it. It's way too much reading, way too much content, but just the right amount of intellectual stimulus for me to actually think college is not going to be high school.


Anyway so far I've met some good friends here but its taken awhile to adjust. 


Let's see some highlights so far have been traipsing through Boston. From drunken $50 cab rides to Wellesley... ,  to "cultural immersions" of Boston visiting Carmaloop, Bodega, etc.

Beautiful Bodega

The skyline here is so dope!

RETROspection

Looking back time's flown past.... it's been 3 week since I lasted posted. My heads too jumbled, too incoherent to write a full post. That'll come in the next few weeks. College Review: School/Academics are wonderful, challenging, and fascinating. My Art History: Picasso to Pollock class covers all the things I love about art, Padilla would be very proud.

My Intro to IR class is a perfect blend of History, Philosophy, Political Theory, and cognitive argument, it's what I see as a true college lecture class.

I'm taking Calculus 2 with Professor Mary Glaser who has this ridiculous nack for teaching calculus in a fascinating, comprehend able, and intelligent way

My two Chinese courses are perfect to help me get through my lack of cultural immersion into my heritage.

People here are wonderful, life here and back at home are pretty similar, there's no huge west coast east coast difference I can find except possibly the cultural differences of slang.

But things definitely have changed recently. My friends, the people I spend time with, the relationships i've built and lost. SHIT SON... wtf...?? no one ever told me it be like transplanting yourself into a world devoid of all your homely possession and familiarity haha.

  Love. Makes everything make sense. It makes things peaceful. It makes things right.

     it makes you do stupid shit. makes you cry. makes you wanna bleed

yet....

It sets you free, to be you, to be whatever you want to be.

You don't have to compromise yourself as a friend once said

free...

You define your actions, never do your actions define you.

Remember the wisdom of the old and wise

remember the innocence of youth

remember....

eat wealthily!

Just a random thought that rambles through my mind as the very last starlit night here in La Canada it's surreal, thrown into the mix in sixth grade not knowing anyone to leaving the friends I cherish behind, the people I've come to love,  the people I've come to know are all impactful in my life. Let me rattle of a list of people randomly that pop into my head.

NIKA - my savior

TAYLOR - always taylor

JACK G - a true summer friend

BEN CLAIRDAY -my brother

IMAN KHAN -bread winner

HOLLY -first fallen star

TIA -bestest of friends

SEAN -blood thicker than water

HEATHER -unspeakable understanding

CATHERINE -a true friend and lover always

The heart grows stronger with friends, family, and memories. 

The loneliness disappears as time passes. 

The memories fade into a blur of warm fuzzy goodness. 

The adventures meld into a collective catharsis of happiness

Let your dreams take you free

THIS IS NO WAY IN HELL GOODBYE! I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY! 

Don't forget the times we sat there listening to nothing.

Don't forget the endless nights where we ruled the world

Don't forget about the good and the bad the make us human

Remember the intimate moments of vulnerability

Remember the fathomless warmth of our hearts

Remember the best and worst in everyone

It makes us human

It's who we are

It's
