ugh
I have never struggled so much with anything in my life. Keep making terribly simple mistakes… how am I supposed to learn the hard concepts if I haven’t even mastered the easy shit? This is so incredibly frustrating.

Anonymous asked: 1. Sexual Orientation? :P
buckeyeballerina asked: yay for getting to Boston! When do you start classes? I've decided to move back to Buffalo and take classes and I leave tomorrow! My life has been insane as well. Glad you're back!
(help) I'm alive
10 points to the first person who gets that ^
I’m terribly sorry for the absence. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. But I’m finally in Boston! Feel free to message/ask me anything. I’ve missed everyone and would like to catch up. :)

Shakespeare Saturday!

But masters, remember that I am an ass, though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass.—No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow and, which is more, an officer and, which is more, a householder and, which is...

Oh goody gumdrops. Looks like the Democrats have finally come out saying they have no spine. Guess what America, those Republicans you think you all like? Yeah, they just cut all of your programs: Education, Medicare, Medicaid, and pretty much everything else that the middle and lower class…

“All that glisters is not gold.”
—Morocco
The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene 7, line 69.

Shakespeare Saturday!

This passage is from Hamlet, Act III, scene 2, lines 39-46. This play is so meta, which amuses me. Not only is Hamlet offering advice to the players who are to put on a play (within a play,) but Shakespeare is giving advice on how to perform his plays. It’s also a...

Ever since high school, I’ve thought about economic theory… and even then, I was critical of the mainstream. My first economic philosophy involved a virtuous cycle of investments. Corporations make windfall profits, but...
