Travel Guide to Scottsdale, Arizona | TheExpeditioner

In this travel video guide to Scottsdale, Arizona, I travel to Scottsdale, the so-called “Miami Beach” of Arizona. Located just to the east of Phoenix, Scottsdale is home to some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, hotels and attractions. I start of my travel in Scottsdale visiting downtown, otherwise known as “Old Town,” the very walkable central part of the city full of small shops and a…

Travel Guide to India (Part 1): Calcutta from Matt Stabile on Vimeo.

In this video travel guide to India, I begin my travels in India with Calcutta (Kolkata). India had long been on my bucket list of countries to travel to in the world, and in April, 2013, I finally made it there, starting with Calcutta, with no better reason than the fact was I knew so little about that part of the country.

Calcutta was once the capital of the British Empire in India, and today it's home to over 14 million people, which means the city itself is a crowded, dense, loud, but endlessly fascinating place to explore. In this video I explore the alleyways and grand buildings that make up B.B.D. Bagh, the area where the city was founded.

After checking out a parade (a very common occurrence I was to later learn) and grabbing a roadside cup of chai, I stop at the home of famed poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore, the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize, and whose home is a great place to learn about Calcutta's cultural history.

What a great night at Hostel Fish!

Andrew told me that on the weekends, the bar has been fairly easy-going until 10:30pm, or so, then it explodes until the end of the night. I was prepared for that, and was able to get everything restocked for you fine and thirsty folks, beforehand. Sure enough, people arrived in droves around 10pm, and it stayed that way for the rest of the night. It was a high-volume/quick-turnover type of night, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Speaking of spirits, Absinthe was a fiery selection, and our new Suerte tequila proved to be a crowd favorite.

A couple of cool moments:

--I’ve been trying to get Paxton to show off her rad piano skills, being a music-business major, and all. She’s been coy about it, though, so at one point when it was just us two and another person in the room I said “alright, alright, how about this: if I get the ring on the hook in the first 3 attempts, you give us 5 minutes.” As I lined up, she said “If you get it on the first try, I’m out of here.” Sure enough, I landed the ring on the hook the first try and she bolted out of the room without saying anything. It was all humorous.

--Bijon, a warm and friendly guest of ours, showed me a picture he’d taken from the balcony. It was of me crouching down in the parking lot below, at the time I was taking a group-picture for a few ladies who were going into Ophelia’s. Without any other context, me just crouching down in the middle of a parking lot looked rather silly…

--It was a very pleasant surprise to see Nic and Mary, who are both awesome past Hostel employees. They both have some exciting opportunities ahead of them, and we love when Fishes past-and-present come to chill at our Lodo-oasis.

--At that denouement-time of a busy night, when the bar has been mostly cleaned and the music is winding down and people are reminded to start making moves, there was one special moment between myself, a friend, and a couple of guests. I’d shut the music off already and brought my guitar down for my friend to pick around on while I continued to clean. At one point, I walked over to the piano just to see what happened. I don’t play piano (at all) but I asked David the chords, and was able to find the right notes and a few riffs to go back and forth from that fit perfectly. Our hostel guest kept the beat nicely on one of our wooden side tables, and another guest joined in with a little impromptu scat. It was one of those cool, serendipitous, special moments that seem to happen around here often.

Overall, it was a damn good weekend. Cheers, all!

Millennials, boomers reject Newsweek’s #GenerationScrewed label

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/millennials-boomers-reject-newsweeks-generationscrewed-label/

Millennials, boomers reject Newsweek’s #GenerationScrewed label

http://twitter.com/#!/Newsweek/status/225319647069736960

Newsweek’s piece, “Are Millennials the Screwed Generation,” certainly reads like yet another apology by baby boomers for being so darned successful while leaving younger generations in a wake of debt and economic chaos.

Today’s youth, both here and abroad, have been screwed by their parents’ fiscal profligacy and economic mismanagement. Neil Howe, a leading generational theorist, cites the “greed, shortsightedness, and blind partisanship” of the boomers, of whom he is one, for having “brought the global economy to its knees.”

But while the numbers regarding employment, student debt and home ownership certainly are daunting, it seems as though boomers and millennials (at least those not marching in the “Occupy Guitarmy”) aren’t looking for a pity party, and they’re speaking up in response. While Newsweek did receive plenty of the “life is hard” anecdotes it seemed to be fishing for, it also uncovered something else.

had to downgrade my HD cable package, cancel my laundry delivery service and stop buying organic beef from @WholeFoods. #GenerationScrewed

I don't appreciate the defeatist thinking that goes along with this #generationscrewed thing. No one's going to hand you success.

So what shall we call these young Americans? Generation Complainers? Generation Hope?
