In the Footsteps of Marco Polo

"Travel is the enemy of bigotry."



Just finished watching this amazing documentary on PBS. @ Queens natives represent. As they spent just over 700 days retracing MArco Polos steps in 1994.

You can watch the whole thing on PBS.

The Brothers Karamazov didnt fly very far

I have no misconceptions of the interest my life might inspire in others. This blog is mostly for my own purposes. A means to chronicle some of the things I am graced by in my day to day. Currently I have no intention of creating original content. During high school, I was in the habit of carrying a spiral bound notebook that I would write down quotes I found inspirational, humorous, or true. The authority of authorship was not as important as the clarity, wisdom, or insightfullness I found there. Several months ago I read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and left many pages dog-eared and underlined. I just started reading the The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I will be transcribing passages of interest here for later reference.
