do something with all these damn fortune cookie messages (read all 2 entries…)
The last one I'll ever save (promise) 1 month ago

Last week I got lunch at Ling Ling. They gave me two fortune cookies with my sesame chicken – so I faced a choice: open both of them or give one away. I chose the later and dropped the second cookie on Ashley’s desk. My fortune was this:

We write our own destinies
We become what we do

Currently looking for a job and finishing up my degree, this felt very potent. I only need to look into myself to determine the kind of work I want to do. I taped it below my other inspirational quote – as a kind of book end to my days of fortunes told.

May 27 1 month ago

It will end on that day. That is when I am going to give my final thesis defense. What remains between now and that time seems tremendous and challenging.

write daily (read all 2 entries…)
My most recent trip to Michigan spurred me to write more frequently. 10 months ago

I really don’t know the root cause of it – possibly meeting with people who I hadn’t seen in a while, maybe just the mild thrills of long car rides or maybe the anticipation of my final year of formal education. The challenge now is to keep up my pace.
