Introduction

I feel like my regular readers from my international adventures know who I am, and what I am about, for the most part.  But if you don't, here you go: I'm David, and I am the most interesting person you will never meet.  Currently, I'm a student at a small, private, liberal-arts college in Virginia.  I'm majoring in History and Women's Studies, and I hope to attend graduate school to get a master's degree in Social Work and later possibly obtain a PhD in counseling.  I want to eventually work with victims of human trafficking or domestic violence; don't really care where, I just want to be able to help people in need.

I cannot really describe any kind of subculture to which I belong.  I'm not big into sports, or cars, or anything like that.  I'm not really a gamer - something that all of my friends can attest to the fact.  I do, however, enjoy politics and current events, I guess.  I know, so exciting.  But the thing I guess that makes me so interesting is just how open I am to new experiences.  Have you ever been invited to do psychedelic mushrooms with a hostel owner and a prostitute in Morocco? I have, and I did.  You ever get invited to go to a traditional Shisha den with the lesbian queen of Marrakesh (not her official title but homegurl definitely ran that shit)? I've done that, too.

Did I forget to mention that I currently hold a 3.41 GPA, have been invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, and am a member of a fraternity? I know what you're probably thinking: a fratboy liberal who doesn't afraid of anything, this can't be real.  Well, you're kind of right; I'm not a fratboy, I'm a fraternity man.  Fratboys are the ones who send stupid ass e-mails telling their new members to focus on getting pussy.  Fraternity men are the ones who at least try to treat women with dignity and class, bust their asses for the benefit of their brotherhood and chapter, raise hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for charitable causes - basically, they are the ones that strive to honor the men who created their brotherhoods that they are in now.

Oh yeah, when I'm not going on rants about the current state of Greek Life, the government, social issues, etc. I try to do some creative writing.  I have been told that my stuff is very rhythmic, which is funny because I have not a single gram of rhythm in my body.  But it is what it is.  So, I guess you will have that to look forward to in future rants and reveals to come.
