Conflicted

What's right: #UniteBlue

What's wrong: As an atheist, I have a hard time joining a group just because I share some non-existential ideals. As a progressive, I have a hard time not joining a group that is devoted to moderating the severe partisan debate.

What's left: I won't stand on a corner advocating, but I will give money to organizations that do advocate for my ideals.

Random Spring Day - In the Middle of Winter

What's right: If this building comes up for demolition in the @HemisfairSA plan, you'll see me in local news for having chained myself to it for its preservation. 

What's wrong: This Justin Bieber @SNL episode. And every SNL episode since a very long time. 

What's left. The future has arrived: @sa_bcycle

A Lazy Saturday

What's right: Netflix released House of Cards yesterday. It's really good.

What's wrong: We are still in Afghanistan.

What's left: I have been taking a picture of the sunset almost every day for over a year. Most of them are from the same spot on my front lawn.
