Do You “Talk” Too Much?
Upon reading the title of this slice, you’re probably answering to yourself, “No, I don’t.” Before answering without knowing the context I speak of, consider this: People talk all the time without any action.

My “Extraction” Point on Wisdom Teeth
I alwaze wanted to keep my wisdom teeth. I figured that I would die with them still intact and untouched. But as fate would have it, that wasn’t the case. On the morning of 2.20.15, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The weeks leading up to it, I asked many people if they have had […]

Two major structures in San Francisco are being dismantled. The first one is the old Bay Bridge. The other is a place that is very dear to my heart, where many memories have been made, which I’ll share below. If you haven’t already guessed, the place I speak of is Candlestick Park. Just this week, […]
