"When I was 19, my girlfriend and I were going to study in Paris. Our boyfriends came to the docks to see us off. Right as we were getting on the ship, my friend’s boyfriend said to her: ‘If you go, I won’t wait for you.’ So she turned around and decided to stay. My fiance saw this and told me: ‘I won’t wait for you either.’ I said: ‘Don’t!’”

Yes. True words.

Progress

I wrote this list during a down day almost a year ago and, guess what (!), I got to do almost everything:

If (or when) I finish my thesis—and this semester

When this is done, man, I’m going to keep walking. Like I did in 2008—minus the drastic hair cut and attempts to belong to something.

Maybe take those dance classes I didn’t get to take

Maybe practice parking

Maybe read those books I bought but haven’t started

Maybe watch those shows I said I didn’t have time for

Things like that

Etc., etc.

I don’t think too far ahead

Then it’ll be like starting over—again

Does dancing when I feel like it count as "dance classes I didn't get to take"? If so, then progress :D

Although there’s much less stigma attached to counselling, and many people see a counsellor today, there are still some common myths that are hard to dispel. For example:

1. Once you start counselling – you’ll be going for life: Not true. Brief therapy (which usually lasts a maximum of 10...

It's all right to ask for help when you need it. There's nothing wrong with you if you ask or look for help :)

Unemployed Reporter Porter

Via CT.com

Jon Campbell, who briefly made Hartford a more interesting place with his presence and reporting for the Advocate, has entered the homebrew game with his signature Unemployed Reporter Porter (pictured).

“Porter style beers were first popularized in the nineteenth century by merchant sailors and manual dock laborers,” the label reads. “Unemployed Reporter is crafted in the same tradition, honoring a profession likewise doomed to decline and irrelevance.”

For this new class of “expendables,” the label goes on, “we’ve included chocolate and roasted barley malts that are as dark and bitter as the future of American journalism, and a high alcohol content designed to numb the pain of a slow, inexorable march toward obsolescence. While Unemployed Reporter is especially delicious as a breakfast beer, it’s still smooth enough to be enjoyed all day, every day. And let’s be honest: what else do you have going on?”

FJP: Give it up for Jon. Brewing up the best out of a difficult situation. Here he is on Twitter.
