Today I fell in love with beaches. Face it, they’re awesome. Whether you’re swimming, playing volleyball, tanning, or checking out the opposite sex, one is destined to have a good time. Unfortunately, not everyone lives near the ocean. That’s ok. Thanks to mother nature,...
Sharing Meals
posted by Brendan Doshi
Today, I fell in love with going out for dinner. Its always fun to dine out with friends and enjoy a nice meal. It doesn’t have to be super fancy, just getting a burger and socializing for a while is great. In college, my friends started a tradition of every sunday eating a different ethnic meal. We had everything from mexican to turkish dining. The hang was always fun and the food was phenomenal. I once saw a quote that said, “never eat a meal alone”. I never thought much of it, but I think that its important to share meal times with other people. Even if you’re not with your friends, sit down with the random person...

Morning Jogs

Lately, I have been trying to wake up early in the morning and run a few miles. I (like most human beings) am extremely bad at working out consistently. I will go hard for a few weeks, and then stop because I start to look good physically. Then after not working out for a few weeks I start to look bad naked – (looking good naked is my primary motivation for exercise) – and then begrudgingly begin vigorous cardiovascular activity once again to get back to where I was before. In college, I was on the rowing team. Every morning, we would wake up at 4:30, and get on the water by 5am. There was something beautiful and unexplainable about...
Store Greeter

This morning, I went to the store Fossil to buy a new bag for myself. I do not buy new things often, so when I do, I have a pretty good idea of what I am purchasing and do not like “browsing” around. As I entered the store, a store greeter approached me. I felt like Larry David and thought...
