This looks great and it’s one of the most important health issues in our country. Glad to see there is more attention being given to why our cities and economy were designed to make health so hard.
A provocative new 4-hour series soon to air on public television, Designing Healthy Communities, examines the impact of our built environment on...

Not the police, but those in political power must change the conditions that lead to a rise in terrorism.
If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offense. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. If you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offense. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. Protest is when I say I don’t agree with...

New Years Part 2: Looking Forward
So a lot of my resolutions this year are roll overs from last year, but I’m adding some specifics on this year so I can hold myself more accountable and adding a few more things.
Not only wake more on time, but wake up at a consistent time and hopefully become less nocturnal. I want to try and wake up by 8 or 9 every morning.
Cook in more/eat out less. I’m going to start keeping...

New Years Part 1: Reflection
This was my new years resolution from last year:
Wake up more on time
Fix my sleep schedule
Cook in more/eat out less
Exercise more
Read more
Work on another language
Get slapped
I did one of those, maybe two. I definitely overslept less, but i still don’t know if that is “on time” My sleep schedule is less sporadic which is good. I read more, exercised less. I learned...

Christmas Break and the end of my last Fall...
Hey guys! I know I haven’t blogged in a while. The end of the semester was rough and it just became busier when I got home. Due to personal reasons, there were a number of complications involved in finishing my senior seminar. After staying on campus for a long time after classes were over, I finally decided to take an incomplete so that I can truly write a good paper and devote an...

iHollaback is the new rape whistle but better →
With new technology way more innovative ways of keeping people safe and preventing or deterring sexual harassment/assault. Here is just one really cool app that I found with the immense amounts of time I have had to search the net. Very very cool and hopefully it will make a difference in some small way.

About.me To much internet?
Hey everyone,
I just did some major surfing of the internet. Happens every time I have finals. It happens way too often actually. Anyway I came across a website called about.me. This website is basically called a splash site. Instead of giving people random links to things like my google+, twitter, or blog, I just give them the address to my about.me website and people can now access all my other...

Procrastination before I start to try and save my...
For the past two days I have been pretty sick and not really done anything but sleep and cough all day. I have a lot of work late now and am really screwed. This is me pretty much starting my Monday at 11 PM so wish me luck. I just showered which has helped me feel a little better but I still have a lot to do before I deserve sleep and can head home for Thanksgiving. Wish me luck.

What I want for Christmas
I stole the idea about blogging my christmas wishes from artisticjgil a friend of mine who is also an avid tumblr-er. Maybe not as exciting as some of the things I wanted for christmas in the past. But here we go:
1. Three of my suits should be taylored or if I am really making a christmas list, how about a new pen strip suit that really matches instead of all my mix and match stuff
2. a...

CAMP - Childish Gambino →
npr:
There’s no denying that Glover’s sound is unique: He can vibe to a romantic melody with live strings and piano in one song, then follow it up with a song heavy on bass and fire-alarm sounds. If there’s one comparison that jumps to mind, it’s Kanye West circa The College Dropout: not the media-baiting megastar we know today, but the insecure guy from a middle-class...

Merger of Memphis and County School Districts... →
So apparently merging the Memphis and Shelby county school districts is going to make the rich suburbs secede and form there own school districts. The is predictable, but I also wonder if there are any other real proposals designed to address the problem of educational inequities in the county vs the city.
So yeah, I am not sure how I feel about this article as a whole. Mainly because I feel like...

Halloween Weekend and Ra Ra Riot
I haven’t had a post where I just talk about my life in a while, so hey here’s my halloween weekend. On Thursday I went to the infamous Pike Halloween party. I wasn’t very inventive for my costume haha. I ended up writing numbers all over my shirt and being “someone you can count on”, it may have been clever, but it certainly wasn’t festive. This may be the last...

This time he came, he also...

$1,500 to Impact 100 families in 15 days →
A few of my more avid readers may remember me talking on numerous occasions about my work with GlobeMed. The Rhodes College chapter is partnered with a GRASS roots organization in Nicaragua called AMOS, which works to bring primary health care to impoverished rural communities.
This last week intense tropical storms have flooded many of the communities that I had a wonderful chance to work with...

Visualize Me Resume →
I just recently attempted updating my linked.in account to finally have the same stuff as my resume. I got pretty far and then I also used this website to give a more concrete eye friendly image of what I have been up to the last few years. It definitely looks better than a bunch of words on a screen, check it out.

We The People White House Petition Page →
This is a really innovative concept where personal initiative and petitioning, our government, and technology have met to make a very important concept to democracy even more accessible and user friendly for the people. You don’t see many other governments doing this around the world. More should.

WatchHey guys check out our awesome year end review video for this past year for GlobeMed. I had the really great chance to work with Nick Majie the summer at the National Office and watch him make this great short, while giving unwarranted opinions along the way. Please give it a watch to see his work and the ways we expanded over the past year as a network.

Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven’t blogged in what seems like a million years. Classes and GlobeMed are my life right now. I haven’t even been able to continue my work with Refugee Empowerment Program because I am split between the other two things. Which is killing me.
Anyway, it is currently Parent’s Weekend and I have been busy hanging out with my parents and also working on the...

Philanthroper and a culture of giving
I know I haven’t been posting so much about my personal life lately but I have been so busy with GlobeMed and Senior Seminar and other classes I haven’t had much time to do anything else. (I will blog about most of those later I promise.)
Lately I subscribed to this daily email service called philanthroper and every day it emails you about a new cause that you can donate to. They...
