Words With AJ Ke
Life is a funny thing. One minute you’re happy and in love, and then the next you are even happier and more in love. I have the new iPhone and now I’m living a teenage dream. That makes me one step closer to reaching Nirvana. But I still have a few things I desperately want or I will implode.
- The new Kindle!
- A good bicycle
- Lady GaGa’s wardrobe
Just kidding. I don’t really need all of those things. All I need is Lady Gaga’s wardrobe. But as far as the iPhone goes, I love it. It’s so much faster than my 3g, and the sharper screen is gorgeous. Other than that, I’m having trouble finding any major differences between the two phones.
If you could buy anything for yourself, what would it be? Maybe I will buy it for you. But probably not. Tell me what you would buy, but don’t expect me to buy it for you.

If spending a weekend in Las Vegas has taught me one thing, it’s that moments slip through your fingers if you’re not paying attention. Or was that money? Either way, Las Vegas lives up to the hype of late nights and good times.
My trip wasn’t the typical Vegas Vacation; I was there to celebrate my grandpa’s 80th birthday. At four times my age, my grandpa is still as strong as ever. I spent lots of time with extended family that I normally never see. I don’t have any family in Florida besides my parents, so it was so much fun seeing everyone together. I love how, despite being apart for more than half a decade, hanging out with everyone feels like nothing ever changed.
One thing I regret is not being able to celebrate Kristen’s birthday with her. Fortunately, John and I made this totally awesome and only slightly embarrassing birthday video for our girlfriends. Check it out:

So far this summer has been a flash of good food, good books, and hot weather. Yarber and I built a cornhole set a few months ago. We finally got to use the set on Memorial day, where we also had a cookout of epic proportions. Tommy and Roland made a hearty buffalo chicken dip. There was also corn, burgers, grilling beans, and chicken skewers. Roland was laying on the floor in agony after all that food.
Over the course of the summer, I’ve purchased a few books on half.com and Amazon. It’s amazing how much reading I can get done when I don’t feel like I’m on such a tight schedule. One book is about the neuroscience of decision making. I was completely entertained by this book, titled “How We Decide.” It brought to light a lot of elements of decision-making and explains why we make the choices we do.
I bought a ukulele this summer, too. As much as I love piano, the ukulele is quickly becoming my favorite instrument. I’ve mostly been learning cover songs and a few chords, but it is so much fun! And portable!
The rest of summer involved a few dance workshops, basketball, lots of studying, and an iPhone 4 launch adventure. So far it’s been a pretty wholesome break, and I’m looking forward to Las Vegas and New York in August before the fall semester starts.
