I text allegiance to the flag...




















I text allegiance to the flag of the United States Of American Apparel and to the facebook for which it friends, one nation, OMG, indivizzibizzle, with Liberty and Jonas for all.

Socialnomics

I couldn't care less about the make-more-money economic argument, just not my thing; but the social capital argument, hell yes. Welcome to the future of organizing.

Two words: Esperanza. Spalding.

Time to buy every note of music Esperanza Spalding has ever touched. Thanks, White House. You're like my hip friend who recommends all the best music.

Until you have seen a deaf girl dance...

White. House. Poetry. Jam. Enough said.

"Until you have seen a deaf girl dance, you know nothing of passion."

Coming up for air

Grad School.
One MBA class down. Got a solid A grade and flattering kudos from the professor. I've been knocking out A grades on all my MA Community Leadership course assignments. My new MBA course is going well and I rocked an A on the first assignment. All is well. It's hard. I love it. It takes every single spare moment of my time. It's worth it.

Work.
The director of my department left the college in September. I was appointed Interim Director. This is in addition to everything else I do for my already more-than-full-time job and the new federal grant I'm managing. It's a great opportunity and I'm in the right place at the right time, but it's wearing me out. I now manage 7 staff members and a $400,000 budget. In addition...in addition... *sigh*

That's that.
I have a light homework weekend. This hasn't happened since...well, since I started grad school. I took this time to clean my apartment. No. That's a lie. I took this time to surf the web and watch hours of hulu. I'm about to dump a lot of neat interweb finds on this blog.

Ready. Set. Go.
