Marko Polo: Boston

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/05/boston.html

Filling in the cracks. Friday, May 28, 2010. I'm in New Hampshire right now. My friends and I, you see, decided to trek up north to visit some friends we met through our study abroad experiences who go to UNH. They came and visited us in Springfield, so we thought we'd return the favor. Thus, on Monday we hopped in the car and schlepped 25 straight hours to spend a week in the great Northeast (particularly Boston and New Hampshire). I've got other issues I'd like to blog about soon as I've had some deep ...

Marko Polo: On Being Wild...

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-being-wild.html

Filling in the cracks. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. I used to be really passionate about so much in a childlike, simple kind of way. Every day was an adventure which I attacked with vim and vigor. Somehow though, for a myriad of reasons, my life became very calculated. I do most things now because I should do them, or because they're good for me, or because they're safer, but that passion and intensity have somewhat dissipated. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears! Hey Mark, hang in there buddy!

Marko Polo: My Forays into Feminism...

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-forays-into-feminism.html

Filling in the cracks. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. My Forays into Feminism. The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. March 9, 2010 at 11:52 AM. Critical theories like feminism consist of applied moralities of ressentiment. March 9, 2010 at 11:56 AM. March 9, 2010 at 1:18 PM. Im glad to see the version of this argument that is more finalized than what I glimpsed in Senior Sem. :P Many times I prefer writing about issues as opposed to talking about them, mainly because its so mu...

Marko Polo: Buddhism at Work...

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/02/buddhism-at-work.html

Filling in the cracks. Thursday, February 25, 2010. Now I don't consider myself a serious Buddhist anymore (don't worry, Walter family), but that doesn't mean that I can't learn a lot from the Buddha and the simple truths he outlines in the Noble Eightfold Path. Let me share with you a bit of my life. This is going to include me sharing some stuff about myself which my family doesn't know, so if you're one of my family members you can either:. Buddhist psychology. Plain and simple. Let me explain. Don't ...

Marko Polo: Gone with the wind...

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/10/gone-with-wind.html

Filling in the cracks. Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Gone with the wind. I suppose if you still read this (and my site meter tells me some people actually do check in from time to time) then I should let you know that I have moved. I'm still writing, but now it's at Dancing Through Life. Check it out. This place feels old. Time to start something a little more fresh. HI, I just joined this community. I m from China. I like this forum.hope to learn lot of things here ;-). My Poker Blog: Online Poker. B][url...

Marko Polo: Am I a Writer?

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/04/am-i-writer.html

Filling in the cracks. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Am I a Writer? After my last post, I started to realize how much relief I feel when I post something. There is something cathartic about creation, about expression through some media, that I'm attracted to. I've always written songs, played music, danced, or written when times got tough. Suddenly, for whatever reason, I think I've convinced myself that I'm too busy to do those things anymore. Big mistake. 3) It's okay to be different. Being a 22 year old...

Marko Polo: A time to be born, and a time to die...

http://markopolo87.blogspot.com/2010/04/time-to-be-born-and-time-to-die.html

Filling in the cracks. Thursday, April 22, 2010. A time to be born, and a time to die. He was twenty. And a good looking guy too. I've wept a lot for Scott and for his family over the past few days. I've wept alone and I've wept with those who loved him like I did. He was a great kid with a heart of gold. He let us all know via facebook the morning he took his own life that he cared about us. He wrote:. Im sorry to hear this buddy. April 22, 2010 at 11:18 PM. April 25, 2010 at 1:41 PM. My blog is where I...
