a word to the wise.
I was recently told by a close friend that you should set goals for yourself after graduation. These goals can be anything from small and simple to expansive and complex. I think this is an interesting concept because really without goals in your life what do you do. We are so use to doing work and attending classes for so long but once its all over what else do you have? Well, we are suppose to...
road trip!
I came to the discovery today after watching Planet Earth several times (which by the way is one the most amazing series I’ve ever seen) that I would like to one day work, film, and/or host a show revolving around traveling and adventures. Planet Earth is probably one of the best purchases I have ever made. This career path of mine has been an on-going dream of mine. I want to see things and...
snooki eat your heart out.
One of my favorite things in the entire world is impromptu dance parties. Last nights takes the cake for best impromptu dance party thus far this year. After going out to a club where we danced the night away, we returned to the house and continued to party and dance at an early 3am in the morning. It was great to surround myself with great friends and dance. The pizza guy arrived and let himself...
its going straight to your thighs.
So tonight I’m venturing to Rutgers which in case you didn’t know has its own strand of herpes. Word to the wise don’t use any bathroom that you don’t know. People at Rutgers are in their own classification of people almost as much as Penn State. They are completely obsessed with their school and its sports teams. But really who cares, it’s not THAT important. I...
IPAD YOUPAD.
Damn Apple, you guys surprise me every single year with some new technology. I really had no clue what else they could come out with but the new IPAD seems to be the newest craze in technology since its launch yesterday. From what I have read and from what I have seen it looks like a larger version of the IPhone.
“The iPad, unveiled yesterday ahead of an estimated April launch, is stunning...
cakes in cups, thats all it is.
Is it weird that I like cupcakes better then actual cake? Well anyway I had this epiphany tonight and it’s kind of a running career goal with a friend to start up a cupcake shop. We decided recently that we would create this cupcake shop and live above it with our friends. It’d be like part reality show part cupcake shop/work because people really need to know what we are doing with...
Break me off a piece of that snickers.
If someone was paying me 10,000 dollars an episode for 12 episodes and an additional 10,000 to sign on I would jump at that immediately, especially if I was a no name talent on a reality program.
“As we first reported, MTV offered each cast member a $10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 per episode. We’re told the cast rejected the offer and made it clear they would all stand together and...
However, I won't cut off my ear and mail it to...
I’m considering a side career in painting. I think I could do it. In high school I was semi-talented in ceramics. I made a really sick tea pot that was a pumpkin. Yesterday in our office after we did the clean out we decided to paint and then splatter paint the couch. It’s a great stress reliever. The creative side of my brain definitely gets a lot of action.
jackson pollock.
the kids were waking up hungover.
Regina Spektor’s Album Far is by far her best album. Its been out for awhile now but I feel like more people should know of her greatness. She is one of the most interesting and talented female singers/artist currently I feel. Innovative is the one world I think describes her best. Human of the Year and Dance Anthem of the 80’s are both great songs and my personal favorites so check it...
it's your life.
A friend of mine put it so simply, “Fuck everybody its 2010”. Another friend said “It’s your life”. All of these things are true. If you don’t like something or like where you are currently, get out of it. It’s your life. No one chooses your life but you. You make mistakes and you learn from them. You deal with the consequences whether they be awkward or...
Instant Lady.
Solitude and gratitude.
Have you even been to a place where you feel you could go back to everyday and it would never get old? Well solitude is definitely that place for me. Who knew NJ had such beautiful treasurers. Secondly Thank you polaroid for hopefully coming back into the world. Without you I would be crushed.
Lady GaGa has been named Creative Director of Polaroid Film. I hope she...
trash mag.
I want this. please get this for me.
So my new internship is eh. I don’t really love it but I’m trying to stay positive as if it will get better. I guess you have to make mistakes to learn from them. The more I get into my major and field the more I lean less towards news and more towards television and day time. However I did learn a lot of about celebrity gossip today from my own...
bucket list.
So I watched last night this new show on MTV called The Buried Life. This has always been a huge passion and interest of mine to make a list of things I would like to do before I die. Unfortunatley now its a television show and it’s kind of lost all of its appeal. For some reason I think I will probably part take in some of my dreams and goals this summer. It feels like its my last time to...

Triumph Brewery…fine beer, art, and bands drinking a lot.
A Story from this photo:
On Saturday Night we went to Triumph Brewery in New Hope, PA. It’s a pretty rad bar, cool atmosphere and beer brewed on the grounds. Everything is relatively cheap and good. So there was this band playing whom I don’t remember the name. However they got a little two drunk and apparently...
the first lady.
through the lens.
Kathryn Bigelow, the director of The Hurt Locker is the first female director to ever win the critics choice awards for best director. This is a huge feat and she (cross your fingers) will hopefully win best director at the globes and the oscars. It’s quite amazing and shocking that a female director hasn’t won yet. It’s 2010 people. Thats so crazy.

(35) days of winter.
This winter break which is my last one in college is coming to a complete ending tonight. Tomorrow I go back to school for my last semester and I cannot even begin to comprehend everything. Where did all this time go? It’s unreal. It’s been an amazing break and a not so good break. It’s mixed. 2009 ended wonderfully and 2010 started off with a cold and steadily has progressed to...
earthquake.
“At least 100 bodies were discovered by a CNN crew in one open pit outside Port-au-Prince, along with several other pits half-filled or completely covered over with earth. In the capital city, bodies litter the streets, and barely functioning clinics are overwhelmed. There is still no confirmed death toll, but the Haitian consul general to the United Nations has estimated the toll could top...
Genevieve "Jean".
It’s the little things I remember from my childhood. I use to play 80’s computer games on her ancient computer or ride my grandpa’s exercise bike. We use to play in the backyard and she would make us a 5 course meal for every meal. I use to rollerblade in her basement and she would scream at me but I still did it anyway. Her house was stuck in the 70’s and I loved it and...
secret society.
I totally discovered last night about an underground society of bird watchers. It’s like a legit group of people. Apparently a bird watchers goal is to see every bird with there own eyes as I would suspect. There is a bird watchers twitter in which you can tweet what you have seen and share your newest bird sighting and finally add it your life list. It’s quite bizarre yet intriguing...
who's got the munchies?
New Jersey has finally joined in on the fight to legalize marijuana. We are now one step closer. Will it ever be legalized? No, I highly doubt it but I think this is a step in the right direction for modern times. As stated by the NYtimes, “The New Jersey Legislature approved a measure on Monday that would make the state the 14th in the nation, but one of the few on the East Coast, to...
D.C. or Bust.
The future president is definitely not lying in one of the members of the new cast of the Real World which is taking place in Washington D.C. I think its quite a strategic move if you ask me on MTV’s part. Of course right after an election when people are politically driven and interested in the government. The cast is sure to stirup some controversy with several musicans, two bi-sexuals,...
Late Night Debacle.
10pm just isn’t Leno’s forte. As stated by “NBC host Jay Leno is going back to late nights after a low-rated experiment in prime time, the network announced Sunday.
Leno’s prime-time talk show, which debuted in September, “didn’t meet affiliates’ needs,” said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment.
The program will go off...
in loving memory.
Grief: a: a deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement. b: a cause of such suffering.
Just when life is going so great it tends to throw you for a fast one. I’ve just sifted through hundreds of old photos to help remember and for show. That is the one thing about photography that I love so much, old photographs. Sepia, Black & White, Polaroids, etc. The...
fist pumpin' like champs.
Ironic, I think not. Jersey Shore has been picked up for a second season. So pack up your self tanner, swim trunks, and do your poof because everyones heading back down to Seaside Heights for a good ole time, or just my friends and I.
According to The Daily News, “Don’t worry, “Jersey Shore” fans - we hear the cast of MTV’s runaway hit will be back for another summer...
sext message.
As stated by Urban Dictionary… Sexting: the act of text messaging someone in the hopes of having a sexual encounter with them later; initially casual, transitioning into highly suggestive and even sexually explicit
also learn while browsing Urban Dictionary…
Sextile: Any item of clothing that is figure flattering and entices the opposite sex is a sextile.

party girl.
The other day I learned from a friend after seeing Up in the Air that Vera Farmiga graduated from my high school. On that note, Up in the Air is an awesome movie and I highly recommend going to see it. All the actors are very enjoyable, especially Vera.
Ke$ha’s new album Animal just came out. Her album seems to be stirring up some controversy because she’s doesn’t play a pop...
24 hours.
I spent over 24 hours with the same 6 people and it was awesome, minus my haphazard cold.
Things you should know:
-cloudy with a chance of meatballs is a surprisingly great movie. (RENT IT)
-chinese food bags always leak, it’s something that is built into them.
-flannel is very popular. (check your local hipster hangouts)
-rock climbing places have weird hours of operation
-if you...
dip party
This is dedication. In a current game of flip cup I have decided to post.
more intellectual posts to come.
3 buffalo dips and blue moons = this night.
Sick day.
So I physically cannot take a photograph today due to my current illness so I am going to post an old one.
summer 2008. the paulinskill viaducts.
Length: 1,100 feet Clearance below: 115 feet Opened: December 24, 1911 It’s currently inactive but is a popular Weird NJ destination. If you love graffiti this place is definitely for you.
false alarm.
So apparently 2010 isn’t the start of the new decade. Since it all started with year 1 and not 0, the decade ends December 31, 2010. False alarm everyone you now have to wait another year.
On that random note this was sent to me this past week from a friend and I wanted to share it, http://www.beerbike.co.uk/. Go check it out. It’s called the beer bike and it holds between 10-22...
TwentyTen.
Happy New Years Everyone!
So it begins. This is my New Years resolution, to keep up with this blog for an entire year and attempt to take a photo a day. This past semester I completely fell out of one of my biggest passions, photography. I have vowed to myself and obviously to whomever may read this that I will take and upload a photo a day. So enjoy my adventures among other things.
