Expedition to the Emerald Isle. My Experiences in Ireland and Beyond. Friday, August 28, 2009. As I prepare to leave for the great continent of Europe, I felt as if the best way to keep in touch with family and friends would be through a blog. I hope to update this page every few days, so if you are ever feeling bored and would like to see the people, places, and things I'm encountering in Europe, surf on over to this page.

Expedition to the Emerald Isle. My Experiences in Ireland and Beyond. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. On Saturday morning, I woke to find out that David and Jimmy were planning on going to see Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, and a show ('Wicked') near South Bank. Having already seen Big Ben and 'Wicked,' I told the guys that I really wanted to go to the University in Oxford. and I did just that! I caught a bus back and arrived at the Londoners flat around 8-9pm. This was the last night for a lot of the Lo...

Expedition to the Emerald Isle. My Experiences in Ireland and Beyond. Friday, January 14, 2011. Madrid Madness, Slower Segovia. Well… I've delayed my blog quite a bit on this Spain excursion, but it's been because we've moved around so much! I have had a speedy, up and down trip through Spain, and I will do my best to recount my last four days as efficiently as possible. Our first day in Madrid covered many of the main landmarks of the City. Plaza de Sol, Plaza Mayor, Gran Via, just to name a few. The ne...

It was a fantastic time. I bowled a 69 my first game, and a 179 my second game (I needed to warm up a little bit I guess). After bowling, we were dropped off in Galway to enjoy a night in town.

Theory Teacher's Blog. Symptomatic Minaj and the Politics of Fun. A couple of months ago, when I was moving to New York from Minnesota, and doing a lot of cross-country driving, I noticed that two of the most often played pop hits on the radio were Nicki Minaj’s “ Starships. 8221; and Fun’s “ We Are Young. 8221; that Minaj believes herself to be possessed by the devil or is a member of the secret Illuminati. Nevertheless, the relationship of pop music to political ideologies and economic issues is a ques...

Expedition to the Emerald Isle. My Experiences in Ireland and Beyond. Friday, January 14, 2011. Alright… time to catch up a bit more. Where was I? Oh yes… Segovia! John and I left Segovia on an 8:00am bus. Our ride back to Madrid was absolutely stunning… the sun was just rising over the mountains as we regressed to the busy city that we had just spent time in a few days ago. It was a blast. It was an absolute blessing to have a home-cooked meal after traveling so long. We all really appreciated it. John ...
