Reblog this post, tell your friends, I don’t care what you do. If you spread the word even a bit, I’ll be...

I just found this letter I had written to myself on my 20th birthday, nearly a year ago. I’m still not very funny. =(

Hey there,
You’ve been alive now for two decades, a quarter of your life, if we assume you’ll die in old age. I would congratulate you and say it was no small feat you managed to achieve adulthood, but let’s face it — with infant mortality rates...

Novel excerpt: The Midnight Cafe
The Midnight Cafe, established 1962, had been a Jacobin headquarters for the beaten down since the Beat Generation became a staple in that part of town. Over the years, it grew into a fully-earned reputation for revolution, for Marxists, feminists, transcendentalists, surrealists and hedonists alike had at one point considered the cafe a nightly destination for conspiring over whisky. In the 70s,...

The world's most censored country?
pulitzercenter:
It’s not Iran, says the Committee to Protect Journalists. And it’s not North Korea. The world’s 10 most censored countries.
This page was ironically censored by the PRC just as I tried to access it while disconnected from my school’s VPN. Take a look. It’s horrific.

Maybe we'll crash in the ocean and get eaten by...
This has been one strange and spectacular quarter. The Daily premiered as usual. On a similar note, I acquired Popular Science, India Tribune and Immigrant Connect clips, which should hopefully cushion my greatly decreased GPA. But real world experience trumps academia in the real world, doesn’t it? One would assume.
I’m leaving for China tomorrow to make that documentary about the...

Fear of Rejection?
Dear Writer,
I regret to say that we cannot use the piece you have submitted. There are many potential reasons for this: we are looking for very particular subject matter; we are overstocked right now; we were drunk when we read it. This is not a judgment of you. It does not mean you are a bad writer.
Of course, you probably are a bad writer. You’re probably so bad you can’t finish this...
