Sound of Silence

Every once in I while I just crave silence. Absolute deafening silence like that experienced on a cold windless winter night in the forest just after a snowfall. The kind of silence that makes you realize that for the past however many years not a minute has gone by without you hearing some constant noise whether it be the soft rushing of air coming from your office ventilation, the low hum of traffic from a distant main street, the drip of a leaky faucet or the distant buzz of life in the great outdoors. I'm talking about the fresh solace of quietude bestowed only occasionally on those few who seek it out. That's what I crave now.

It's footy, not footsies

I came to Boston for an internship with Schlumberger-Doll Research and on the side got involved in an Australian Rules Football league. I play for the Boston Demons. And by play I mean that I mostly watch the game, deliver water to the players, and try to learn a new sport. Sometimes we play a scrimmage (Metro) game to give those who don't get much play time in the real games a taste for the sport. This weekend we went to Yonkers to play the New York Magpies. The Demons fought hard and won the game, and I got to play in the Metro game afterward. Here are some pics.

I've never liked the idea of blogging

I get stressed out just composing emails.
