About

The Site:

This blog is about learning to step lightly though life. It’s about practical ways to be a good person, to decide what it means to be good, but more then anything it’s about practical ways to make yourself happy.

Me:

I’m a sophomore at the University of Connecticut and just switched to the fine arts program, where my concentration will almost certainly be photography. I like to try lots of things; I have been interested in photography and writing for a long time, but presently am also playing around with personal finance, gardening, wind and solar power, electronics, and for reasons that are beyond me, whittling and even knitting. I also run a personal blog, The Sens-Dep Experience, and my own website, City of Shalom, although it is currently in the process of being rebuilt.

The Primary Characters:

These are people you will probably hear about or who will post in the comments with some frequency, so you might as well know a bit about them.

• Moi: No, I do not actually suffer split personalities, and I have taken enough French to know that moi means “me” in the language of love. No, Moi, here, is a good friend of mine. She started signing her comments on my personal blog as “Moi” and the name stuck. She’s an architecture student at the Columbia University and an all around good person.
• Mom: Being twenty, the fact is I still spend lots of time living and being at home, so as much as I occasionally feel like a kid mentioning her, she’s a big part of my life and a substantial intellectual opponent. I inherited the writing bug from her (except she’s been published) and she is currently striving to create a career for herself in that field.
• Dad: He’s a consultant in the health care billing industry and he’s very good at separating stupid people from their money. I kid, I kid. He’s a hardworking and generous guy.
• My roommate: He’s, well, my roommate! So during the school year expect to hear about or from him occasionally. Secretly, we’re also planing to take the web comic world by storm as soon as one of us learns to draw.

Well, that’s all the relevant stuff I can think of for now. If you have any questions feel free to contact me by responding to this post or by e-mailing me at zwussow (at) comcast (dot) net.
