I love to read a good obituary. I have a collection of the ones that make me laugh, cry, and wish I knew the subject when they were with us. Some of these people I knew personally, while others, I was just a fan of their work. For a couple, I had never heard of …
A Love Letter to 440 Baldwin St #7
I feel like I just broke up with someone. Driving to Athens this morning, I felt like I was going on one last date, and I knew that I had to break a heart. The heart was my home for eight years of my life (1998-2000, 2002-2008), and has provided me shelter and income, and …
Forgiveness
I thought it was a great idea to see The Shack and the latest episode of This Is Us on the same night. I didn't think my body was capable of expelling that many tears. If you know me well, you know I'm not a religious person. I do consider myself to be spiritual. I believe that I am …
20 years later: How The Centennial Olympics Transformed On-Campus Housing at Georgia Tech
Aug 15, 2016 | Atlanta, GA Can you believe it's been 20 years since the Olympics came to Atlanta? I can't, AND if you're an undergrad at Georgia Tech, chances are you weren't even alive when our campus was the Olympic Village. Although it has been 20 years since the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta will have legacies …
Fizzled Out Oz
Last night, I went to see The Wizard of Oz at the Fox. I figured, what can go wrong? I was going to one of my favorite venues to see a play based on one of my favorite childhood books and movies. I still remember which corner of H. Grady Bradshaw Library the L. Frank …
Born to Love
As humans, we consider ourselves among the most intelligent species on earth, capable of using our brains for far more than other creatures (so we like to think). Like many other species, we are capable of love, but we are also capable of hate. It makes me wonder if a Labrador retriever would hate a …
Mark Richt: Man vs Coach
Upon Mark Richt stepping down as Georgia’s head football coach, the Bulldog nation remembers a man that did just as much on the field as off it. I am forever grateful as a Bulldog that Mark Richt chose to come to Athens on December 26, 2000. I had just graduated from the University of Georgia as …
Cheap Seats: Defense saves Georgia Football’s Whatchamacallits
The Georgia football team was once again propelled to victory thanks to the play of their shutdown defense. The defense saved our Watchamacallits! My seatmate for the game, Chris Haddock, predicted a score of 6-3, and he wasn’t far off. I trust his opinion. He is a doctor, after all. The defense was the MVP …

Cheap Seats: Georgia Football takes lead, 56-55-8
The Georgia football team finished off Auburn on the road thanks to their stout defense and the play of Isaiah McKenzie. For the first time since 2002, when I was too poor to afford away game tickets, I did not attend the Auburn game in person. Once again, it is because I am too poor. …

Cheap Seats: Georgia Football scores TDs, win vs Kentucky
The rain continued to pour down on another Georgia football game, but the Dawgs flipped the script in a win against Kentucky. To my knowledge, this has been the rainiest football season, and definitely the rainiest since my first game in 1998. Perhaps the first game of the year being called because of lightning should …
