https://austinchandler.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/anxious-or-nervous
Musings on judaism, israel, and irish dancing. January 26, 2013. November 5, 2015. Are you anxious, or nervous? He bites his lip and looks down to think. I realize maybe I shouldn’t have expected him, as an ESL speaker, to know the difference yet. What is the difference?

Musings on judaism, israel, and irish dancing. I’ll Never Be The Person I Want to Be and I’m Okay With That. November 17, 2013. January 10, 2016. I’ve recently come to a conclusion. I’ll never be who I want to be. And I’m okay with that. And then I realize that I really want to have sex with a beautiful girl. And that smoking weed sounds kind of awesome. And that I want to look sexy and have washboard abs and expensive clothes (so that the aforementioned beautiful girl will have sex with me). I want to b...

Musings on judaism, israel, and irish dancing. I’m Not Dead! November 28, 2012. I’m not dead! But I think that the laptop I’ve been using to write my entries might be.

Musings on judaism, israel, and irish dancing. Yom Kippur in Jerusalem. December 29, 2012. January 10, 2016. Magda claps her hands and turns in a circle for me, delighted with her choice of wardrobe for the Kol Nidrei Service tonight, a white top with a flowing brown skirt and matching head-covering. I myself don’t look too shabby either, wearing black slacks and a white dress shirt with a shiny white Kippah with gold embroidery, looking spic and span and Orthodox. Often in America, synagogues are known ...

Musings on judaism, israel, and irish dancing. Why I Almost Started Crying at WhichWich. January 5, 2014. November 5, 2015. His face had been showing up on my newsfeed all day. The familiar tzahal haircut, his crooked smile, paired with those sad Jewish eyes. I’d been in a slump all day. It’s never easy to hear about the murder of an Israeli soldier. Tears started to fill my eyes when I saw a picture his blood staining the recognizable Egged royal blue bus seats. His 19 year old face. 8220;Are you okay?

Nothing new, really. 8230;So…are you calling because your mother told you to call? Yeah, pretty much. Well, good. You know what the news has been saying? Yes, and can I just say that it’s probably blowing it way out of proportion? Well I don’t know, is it? I hold my forehead in my palm. It was actually about 1,000 rockets fired at Israel in 2 months. I don’t k...
