The Sri Lankan government has bombed hospitals and schools, and killed Sinhalese journalists who have sympathized with the Tamil cause. Please understand that most reports that you watch in the media are biased as [...]

Happy Birthday to me. I’m awesome.
Today is my birthday and traditionally birthdays are a time for people to obsess over their future. This year, instead of outlining areas that need improvement (mostly because there is TOO much to improve on), I will reflect on only what is positive:
