More About Me
hi. i'm rodan. i love to eat random things and eat them in bulk (sushi + pasta + pretzels are top of mind). i could probably go broke eating my way through new york but have the self resistance not to. after analyzing myself for the past 27 years, i've come to the conclusion that my deepest fears are rooted in things related to disappointment. i hate starting a book, only to find it not interesting enough to finish. i'm scared i'll never travel enough to see the world, but at least i've got many more years to do so. so maybe because of, or in spite of my fear, i love to savor the moments. you know... the moment you take a bite of your favorite red velvet cake with lavish amounts of cream cheese frosting. the moment the runner's high kicks in during your morning jog. the moment you meet someone and realize you'll probably be friends forever. the moment you write a really good sentence, a really good paragraph, and feel like you've actually expressed yourself.
maybe then someone will actually understand you.
so welcome to my page.
a page of the expressions: the likes, thoughts, and random everythings that fill my life.
stay for a bit too.
Beautiful and poignant.

I’m currently looking for an apt. Why can’t I find something like this within my budget?

Another amazing picture of Marrakesh.
I booked my trip for Morocco (and Portugal) last night. Woke up dreaming about my 4 days in Marrakesh.
If you stand in line for your Pappy, drink your Pappy. Bourbon is best appreciated as an event, and events are temporary, imperfect and the foundation of great memories.
Hunting for Pappy for my bf and came across this awesome article on the “it” moment for brown liquor.

Caveat: there’s a lot more I want to digest and read about with regards to the two cases argued in front of the Supreme Court this week. However to start, I wanted to share my perspective on this article discussing how the Supreme Court should approach their decisions to same sex marriage this coming June. David Westin (author) has a point. The Supreme Court has a very different role than the Legislative branch - they should not inject themselves into the political process. They are not to decide issues that are not ripe, extending themselves beyond the controversy.
EXCEPT when individual freedoms are being challenged by existing laws. This reminds me somewhat of the state of the country before the rulings of Brown v. Board of Education. Laws (created out of the political process) all over the country deemed that segregation of whites and blacks in schools was separate but equal. We saw then how crucial it was for the Supreme Court to come in and define the rights of all men, and it seems clear to me that they need to come in and define those rights again.
More to come.

… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.
