Seriously?

I am interested in just about everything.  Politics, race, religion, sexuality, food, relationships, pop culture, books, media, technology, science, cute animals, bodily functions, and more.  I value communication and learning above most other things: not people talking at one another, but people listening, explaining, and arriving at a new understanding, respect, or even a solution. This is my main goal with my blog.  Additionally, I have incredibly talented friends, so I also use this blog to showcase them and their stuff whenever I can.

I prefer not to identify myself with any political party, but my views on politics, religion, and social issues are often explained in my posts.  I hail from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a 2006 B.A. in Spanish Language and Culture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  I currently reside in Madrid, Spain, working as a North American Language and Culture Assistant at a bilingual primary school.  I’m hoping to pursue graduate work in sociology when my tenure here in Spain is over, whenever that is.
