Jaywalk the World: Home: A Finale
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2012/10/home-finale.html
Monday, October 22, 2012. I doubt anyone would be surprised if I said I haven't yet experienced that reassuring sensation that says: Oh, yup, this is. The last month I've spend my time re-connecting all across the United States and it has been amazing, if not too brief. It still surprises me at how thin those connections with my old friends have gotten in two years away. But so far,. For me, this travel blog ended. When I departed from Asia,. And make regular friends to make things more interesting. ...

Jaywalk the World: September 2011
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. A House of Stuff. Passport, immunization/health documentation, a small padlock, a utility knife, sunscreen, aloe, sunglasses, and I'm sure a lot of other small crap. Needless to say, I had a relatively large backpack and I didn't pack especially light. On average, it was around 20kg. Question: Have you ever tried to fit INTO a backpack? Partially for the zen-like experience . Then the lesbian couple who had a rule that no one other than tenants could ever, ever, ever. Three ...

Jaywalk the World: February 2012
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 8, 2012. The Abandoned Power Station. I mentioned a few months ago that Perth has adopted "graffiti" as a legitimate form of art. It is respected openly, people and companies dedicate space for artists, community projects make sure walls are updated and evolving, and its relatively prolific throughout the city. I'm not going to say much more than that. I've updated the link with all the pictures. Artwork, whoever they are. All I did was simply take a picture. A creepy hallway. I a...

Jaywalk the World: January 2012
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Bikes4Life and The Best Sandwich Ever. My weekdays are typically my weekends and vice versa. With no work available, I felt like I should do something productive. Coincidentally, one of my co-workers, Damon, was looking for volunteers for a charity called Bikes4Life. Volunteering would be a perfect opportunity to be productive while doing some good in the world. Once in the truck, we all naturally fell into our roles. I didn't know the city well enough to navigate and I c...

Jaywalk the World: Cairns
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2012/08/cairns.html
Tuesday, August 21, 2012. The shuttle bus that picked me up at 7am was still half full and I chose the only seat that had any semblance of leg room. Seats during a tour tend to be de facto. Assigned seats, and I was happy with my luck. 15 minutes later, the rest of the bus filled up in one go and I was crammed shoulder-to-window as an overweight, emphysemic man huffed his way into the seat next to me. So much for good luck. Look at how cute that eager wallaby is! Large predatory cats or primates. I t...

Jaywalk the World: It's a Date
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2012/06/its-date.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. I sometimes think of that person in the taxi on that morning - That Me. Am I any different from That Me? Would That Me be happy with what I've been doing with the last two years of my life? A group of teenagers decked out in capes and swords were L.A.R.P. If I could have, maybe I would have bottled that morning into a jar, so I could remember it so clearly in the future. Or maybe I wanted to save those sentiments from that exact moment, because I know its easy to forget how luc...

Jaywalk the World: October 2011
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Graffiti is Legitimate Art in Perth. I estimate that I've passed thousands of graffiti tableaux in Perth, just riding the train a short stretch in and out of the suburbs. I've promised myself that I will go for a graffiti hunt to photograph all the ones I've located from the train (and beyond), but the daunting undertaking has keep it merely a promise. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Growing, as, like, a Person., man. You don't fit in." Sweeeet. The manager, who was a kind chatty l...

Jaywalk the World: July 2011
http://jaywalktheworld.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Have you ever heard of a saying, "People go to college so that they can learn when to use a semicolon"? Ironically, I think I heard that first in college. The saying conveys the idea that 1) the semicolon isn't used very often in normal writing and 2) when it is used, most people wonder, "Why not use a conjunction like 'and'? Or think, "Why not start an entirely new sentence instead of making some big run-on sentence? I wish I knew. Wat u doing 2nite? Intimate, isn't it? These d...
