Well, it’s going to happen. Portland, Oregon, I’m coming. So is Alex. I had to convince my dad to give the final OK, but I took a day to think about it, and I made a great argument.
“Dad, when you were growing up, you saw the world. The person that you are now is the product of years of experience, some of which you can’t get at home. It’s time for me to get some experience. You spent a good year in the states while your parents were in Brussels. And you grew up real quick. Let me grow up.”
I don’t think I could be more excited.

I think, after 18 years of existence, I’ve realized something about myself.
I cannot stand being a social robot.
It seems like everything that I do at home, at school, or at work just drives my mindset farther and farther into a routine that most Americans follow each day. It’s gotten to the point where I would rather get in trouble than be the lifeless drone that my dad, my professors, and my boss want me to be. Seems like a dangerous mindset to have. Hmm.
And on a side note,
Burt’s Bees, smoke trees.
With all of the hype, I decided I’d make me one of these here deallywhoppers. After starting college, I can already notice a change in the way I think about daily events, and I figured I’d share them. And guess what?
