ok so today as i'm getting ready i realize how much i hate flip flops (yes i'm wearing flip flops, go ahead Jeein laugh). seriously even if its for about 15 minutes that i use them to shower they are soooo uncomfortable. anyways so this time for the breakfast i redeemed myself, i hooked up my raisin bagel fat! my first tour was the Boston Freedom Trail. it was pretty cool if you like history. the tour guide definitely kiuaned, that foo was dressed like Sam Adams and was a real comedian. it was pretty classic. it started at the Boston Common Park, which is really nice and then headed out to many historic sites in boston. i saw John Hancocks/Paul Reveres/Sam Adams tombs, Paul Reveres house, the balcony where they first read the constitution...i'm i ... read more

ok so i get to my hostel around 11:30pm, just in time. in time for what you ask? just in time to make it to a bar of course. so i check in, go to my room and open the door, i'm expecting a bunk bed. but of course that wasnt the case, there's 3 bunk beds in one small room and 5 guys w/ no shirts. i'm like no mames, they're all sleeping. so i pretty much just toss my stuff in there and walk to a bar near by, about a block away. i just walk set up shop at the bar and start convos w/ the bartenders. they were pretty cool, they actually served my last beer at 2:03am! shit that never happens in sd, their trying to kick you out at 1:30am!! ... read more

Oh Boston, how I've missed you! It's a nice reunion after being gone for almost four years. It's just like I left it, sans most of my old friends, a few minor aesthetic updates to Boylston Street by Berklee, and a new carding system for the T. Had a late flight into the city last night and met Alena at her apartment on beautiful Beacon street where we chatted for a few minutes and then crashed a little after midnight. She has a cute studio, basement level and the perfect size to share with her sweet cat Rosie. It's so surreal to be walking around the city again! On one hand it's almost like I never left, but the weirdest thing is seeing all the new students at Berklee and not really recognizing any faces. It's ... read more

I think we’ve set a new record of sorts in shifting residences. Consider this - In the last 3 yrs - I’ve lived in 11 different apartments !!!! So I guess I’m a veteran now. Living in Cambridge though is entirely different from any other place. Let me backup and tell you something about the history and geography of Cambridge. Cambridge is a town adjacent to the city of Boston. The city of Boston itself is very compact( only 232 sq. km) and the surrounding areas( treated as separate cities with mayors) comprise the Greater Boston area. The Charles river separates Boston from Cambridge. Cambridge was established as the town of “Newtowne” in 1630. ... read more
