I've spent most of my college and post-collegiate life writing and producing that content. I attended San Francisco State University and got my degree in Print and Online Journalism. I also minored in Sociology. I spent months in 2014 backpacking the Sierras, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. During that time, I kept an online travel blog a ihavetoomuchaddtowriteanovel.wordpress.com. I work for a start up, Quri Inc. out of San Francisco, CA. I'm currently in product placement and retail product execution. I'm always looking to expand on my experiences.
In the style of Paris Hilton, Willow Smith is trying to show that she's more than a fortunate female who inherited a legacy. So, with funding and assistance from the legacy that she inherited, Miss Willow Smith's new single "Heart" knocks it out of the park and starts 2015 out with, need I say, a hydrogen bang.
Dammit Cosby! There was a crowd rooting for you! With a panel of alleged victims where most men quite frankly, in the words of the late Robin Williams, wouldn't "fuck them with a koala's dick," there was a small demographic who supported Cosby.
For the first time in 58 years, the SFSU Bookstore has gone from a nonprofit to being managed by Follett Higher Education Group, a family owned corporation. The University will maintain ownership of the Bookstore while Follett is used as a contractor for management.
I saw The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies last night. 3.5/5 Read on if you need to understand my rating. Yes, the film adaptation of the beloved novel, "The Hobbit", originally one piece of literature; originally planned for a two-film adaptation with Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson; changed to a two-film adaptation...
Between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., a gentleman reported that his vehicle had been broken into at Lot 20 Aug. 29. The total reported value of losses included sunglasses and a CD changer at a reported $490.
On 19th Avenue, Sept. 14, officers conducted a traffic stop and determined a subject was driving under the influence around 3 a.m. While intoxication can sometimes lead to a great story or two - come on, this is San Francisco, a city only seven miles across - there are these things called Muni, BART and cabs.
Still recovering from the excitement after placing second in Verizon's How Sweet the Sound choir competition, the SF State Gospel Gators gathered at Lakeside Presbyterian Church Oct. 1 to rehearse. The Gospel Gators, an inclusive student choir with a diverse group of people from Christians to Atheists, achieved this feat with only two weeks to prepare.
Officers received a call about a topless subject using a computer at the HSS Building Oct. 13. When confronted, the subject repeatedly gave incorrect identification. SF State has strict regulations regarding one's own virtual adventure on the internet, so please, gentlemen, stay off Chat Roulette while browsing the net on campus.
Getting out of Bali=one of the best parts of the trip. Don't get me wrong, Indonesia has its great qualities. But it's turned into such a tourist attraction that it's full of hawkers gearing toward westerners, while trying to rip you off. Balinese people seem to keep to themselves, so if you want to see...
Now that the smoke has cleared and the tears are almost dried up from a 49er Super Bowl loss, we can address what no successful sports franchise is without: a bandwagon. San Francisco certainly was decorated in much more red last week than it would have been five years ago and yes, this is a result of bandwagoners.
I wanted to have The Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng in a separate post, as opposed to how I have been blogging our trip. If anything, it's just for myself because I want to remember all the thoughts that went through mine and Devyn's head on our morbid day of visiting these locations.
I know, 4 topics for one blog is a little ambitious. But I'm an ambitious, amateur, pessimistic blogger. Devyn and I are currently in Bangkok (funny reference) and I personally hate this city. More on that later, let's focus on the other 99 percent of the trip.
The path through SF State, from application to graduation, might be getting a little bumpier next year. University administration announced Feb. 19 that it will be proposing the impaction of nine additional majors for the beginning of the Fall 2014 semester.
You can't do anything without being categorized. If you listen to a certain type of music, wear various clothing articles, enjoy artsy-fartsy films or drink your coffee black, it is inevitable that someone out there is going to place you in a social category.
The dust and LSD has finally cleared after two smelly, hippie weekends of Brochella. We have reached that time of year between music festivals. Starting May 8-12, we will have Bottlerock in Napa Valley and at the end of summer, Outside Lands, shortly followed by the free music fest known as Hardly Hipster, or something - not to mention other popular music festivals going on throughout the summer.
