I miss my brother
I haven’t been close with my brother since we were kids. We’re 5 years and 2 days apart. Whatever my brother did I was always at his side be it backyard soccer, riding bikes, playing tennis, or shooting hoops in the driveway. When he got into his teen years, he got himself mixed with the wrong crowd and we drifted apart. Our relationship has warmed a little over the last few years, but...

Forever Twenty-five
When I was 19 years old and working at Disneyland, a fellow coworker said she thought I was 25 years old. I remember feeling offended, because the mid-twenties seemed light years away. Now that I’m 30, people still assume that I’m 25. Last night, someone told me that not only do I look 25, I also act the age. Looking young is a good problem to have, but I haven’t a clue what it...

Life: Inside the Secret Service →
“Legend has it,” Petro writes in Standing Next to History, “there’s a blood oath that Secret Service agents take in which we swear to lay down our own life to save the president’s.

Reasons my cousins gave me to murder them tonight:
“Okay, so what’s so special about Star Wars?”
“Let’s rent 17 Again”
“What’s wrong with Zac Efron?”
“Who’s Tarantino?”

Adults with small hands: I have questions
Whenever I see someone with small hands, I can’t help but wonder how they cope with tasks. I would not want to find myself hanging from a cliff if I had small hands. The leverage longer fingers provide would give you better odds of not slipping into a pit of hungry crocodiles. These are things I need to know: How do people with small hands cope with door knobs? Cups? Firearms? Noting...

What I've learned about BART so far...
I’m currently sitting on the train that’s supposed to take me from the airport to the city. Living in the suburbs, I’ve never had to take public transportation. Several people have boarded this train looking perplexed as I did. I’ve heard the same question asked, “Do you know if this will take me to…” and the common response has been, “yes, it...
