dig it.

back to NYC this weekend for a social justice in mathematics conference. I’m excited. Yet, kind of annoyed at how shoddily the whole planning of this conference has come together. But honestly, is it possible to pull anything off in NYC without having it look like it’s held together by tape and string?

Wanna see me in the big city? Hit me up? I’m only gonna be in town for the weekend, Thursday night until Monday afternoon.

But . . . me and the fiancee are rolling into town in mid-May. Just a quick heads up.

Oh, here’s another pic, ain’t we a scurry couple?

Much love to all those out there doing real things, showing real love, working for real change, and honestly looking deep into their hearts for the lessons we need to learn from Virginia Tech’s tragedy.

Within the sympathy, the candlelight vigils, the somber mood that academia’s taken, lies a deeper story of pain, unchecked mental illness, feelings of isolation, and systemic racism.

Or do I feel it harder, seeing another Asian-American male reinforce the stereotype of a misunderstood loner, isolating himself from the world and hiding in a self-delusional world of violence and vengeance?

Bah.

It’s late and my writing sucks.
