CURRENT MISSION Road trip from Brooklyn to Oregon, down the Pacific Coast, to New Orleans and then back ABOUT ME My former roommate and I are going cross country on an ultra tight budget. Tight like we're not spending any money on a place to stay. It's either find a place to crash or pitch a tent a couple hundred feet off the highway. Other than this insanity I just graduated from Columbia this spring and I'm starting law school in Boston in the fall. Student loans, what up! PHILOSOPHY It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil). ~Surah Bakarah, 177 (Holy Quran)
