Race has nothing to do with it
You know why Jeremy Lin is a big deal? Part of it has to do with him being Asian but it’s the simple fact that Asian athletes aren’t expected to do well. Yao Ming was a freak. Mayweather said, “Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.” That’s because they’re expected to. Asians are expected to be good at math and the fucking...

How I Really Wanted To Start My iPhone 4 Review
“Is that what I think it is? Can I touch it?”
It’s a Wednesday night, I’m tired and I really just want to be left alone to have a drink or two with my friends who are visiting from out of town.

A daily photo blog seemed like a fun idea, but I haven’t taken a photo that wasn’t for work since. Sad, really. It’s still unclear what I plan to do with this but I’m sitting on the couch watching a baseball game and avoiding cleaning my apartment. This...
