I’ve always loved this instrument. I’m pretty musically inclined, but I’ve had difficulty finding a teacher. And I’m nervous about learning a new form of tablature at my old age of 35. I’m moving back to Seattle in June, and I may be able to locate an instructor there. My dad has offered to pay for the oud…

I’m never happier than when I’m out of America and in India. Despite the corruption, poverty, and filth that so many Westerners focus on when they envision this country, I find it beautiful and very liveable. Okay, so I’ve gotten myself off drugs,out of debt, and through grad school. Now I just have to find a way to market my skills in South India, find suitable work there (and a work visa…), and lease one of those white washed bungalows surrounded by mango/jackfruit/coconut trees. Then I will have really achieved something!

I’ve always wanted a six-pack set of abs. I lost a significant amount of weight about 5 years ago, which I’ve kept off. I’ve enrolled in pilates classes and attended faithfully for 3 years. But no 6pack. I realize that it may be a vain goal and that my body might not produce that kind of musculature, but I’m still trying. About a month and a half ago I started a 4x a week, at-home abs workout that becomes progressively more difficult. I’m starting to see results!
