Welcome | Journal for Undergraduate Ethnography. Sayen. Meter_Handout.pdf. January 7th, 2011. Late-BREAKING News. Bad news! I broke my left elbow this weekend. Examine this PRIMARY SOURCE DOCUMENT [an excerpt from an e-mail I wrote to Wes Man] to learn more: "i broke my arm on saturday night. andrei and i were riding back from brooklyn. we were on the west side bike path and my gears kept slipping. my foot got caught in something and i flipped over. i hit my head (was wearing helmet) and all four limbs. i went to the hospital the next morning and they said my left elbow was fractured but not too badly. i probably won't need a cast. right now it's in a sling. i have to go see an orthapedist next week. it doesn't hurt too bad but sometimes it spazzes out and tightens and that kills.

" Anyway, typing isn't as fun as it used to be, but there are still so many important VIBES to explore... At a party this weekend I was talking to Carrie "rock the" Babcock, an ambiguously ethnic college student whose ancestors CAME OVER ON DA MAYFLOWER. This conversation piqued my interest for a variety of reasons.

Io9 - We come from the future. How to Do What You Love. January 2006 To do something well you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We've got it down to four words: "Do what you love. " But it's not enough just to tell people that.

Doing what you love is complicated. The very idea is foreign to what most of us learn as kids. When I was a kid, it seemed as if work and fun were opposites by definition. And it did not seem to be an accident. The world then was divided into two groups, grownups and kids. Teachers in particular all seemed to believe implicitly that work was not fun. I'm not saying we should let little kids do whatever they want. Once, when I was about 9 or 10, my father told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up, so long as I enjoyed it. Jobs By high school, the prospect of an actual job was on the horizon. The main reason they all acted as if they enjoyed their work was presumably the upper-middle class convention that you're supposed to. Why is it conventional to pretend to like what you do?

On Writing in the Morning. In the morning, I don’t talk to anyone, nor do I think about certain things. I try to stay within certain confines. I imagine this as a narrow, shadowy corridor with dim bare walls. I’m moving down this corridor, getting to the place where I can write. I brush my teeth, get dressed, make the bed. I go down the hall into the kitchen. I fix a bowl of granola, laced with a bogus syrupy non-milk substitute. I eat standing up at the kitchen window.

I live on the fifteenth floor, and this window faces west. I’ve turned the kettle on for coffee. I drink instant because I don’t care how it tastes, all I want is the kick. I don’t read the paper or listen to the news. So I don’t read the news or listen to it. The reason the morning is so important is that I’ve spent the night somewhere else. This is nowhere I can describe exactly, only that it’s mysterious and limitless, a place where the mind expands.

The kettle shrills. I read a page or two, then close the book. This is the moment.
