Thanks Mazzy for turning me on to this free online encyclopedia.

Snowball

So it seems that every day there are several new Nomad bloggers. This is great! however I am finding it more difficult to keep up with all the little side-conversations. Who are these people? (a-la Seinfend)

MUSIC

I belive that electronic music is the common musical denominator among today's youth around the world. Maybe a little visionary but I belive strongly in the culture-spanning appeal of electronic music. I think it is a force that can bring together people and cultures that otherwise think they have little in common. Actually right now I am listening to a DJ from the UK (John Digweed) play for a packed club in Beirut. I truly belive music can be the great common thread among our disparate cultures.

Hey Kevin,

Im sure Scott told you about me. I wanted to follow up with you to see how
you were placed in August this year.

Also wanted to know if a trip to India sounded interesting?! From what Scott
tells me, you could be a huge plus to the conference. Do let me know and we
could talk more about it.

Cheers

Dhanur.

Mazzy

I have been scanning various feedback from WSC. It warms me to see how many people were positively impacted by the conference. In my experience that really is nothing new - conferences are almost always intense, motivating experiences.

However, one thing stands out for me. It is the overwhelming amount of people who list Mazzy as the one element of the conference that really energized and inspired them. At previous conferences, sometimes it was the speakers, sometimes the sessions, sometimes other things that they remember and recant.

This time almost all of the feedback I see is about Mazzy. And for good reason.

I too was genuienly energized and inspired by her. Her unique spirit and tireless enthusiasm kept the energy of the conference moving from start to finish. The spontaneous tribute paid to her by the delegation at closing ceremony was genuinely deserved and is one of my favorite AIESEC moments ever.

I wish her continued prosperity and reward in her future endeavours and I feel truly blessed to have experienced her unique spirit firsthand.

That's Billion with a B

China today commemorated the birth of it's 1,300,000,000 citizen. It 'celebrated' the fact that it's birth control policy has prevented the birth of 2,000,000 people.

...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around these numbers.

Ta-Dah!

Well I just came of one of the best AIESEC Conferences I have been to (and there have been a few) and it was very inspiring. Perhaps it was due to the especially stark contrast between the energy of the conference and my all of a sudden seemingly insignificant desk job, versus when I was in school. I don't know, but something inside me feels out of place. I feel like I belong somewhere else. Doing something more significant. Conributing my hard work, creativity, and frankly 3/4 of my waking hours to something more meaningful.

I don't know where this will lead. Maybe nowhere. I just can't reconcile myself right now.

Anyway if you were one of the delegates to WSC 05 thank you for your endless energy and spirit. You have awoken a dormant passion in my life, one that threatens to take over.
