Instead of taking a road trip to the Sunshine State this past spring break like many of my friends, I stuck around B-Town and took up a challenge on a topic I’d never even thought about before. A New York Times Magazine essay competition for college students challenged writers to answer the question: “Modern Love: What is it now?” Although the deadline would not be until the end of March, something drove me to the library well in advance to get a hold of at least a few inspirational tomes, everything from “The Beatles And Philosophy” to “Hemingway on Love.”
I noticed yesterday that a woman I work with has the word “fearless” tattooed on her wrist. I tried to imagine going through life with this tattoo. I would have to constantly suppress a lot of emotions if “fearless” was eternally branded into my flesh.

But I realized how contradictory the scenario of even getting this tattoo would be for me in the first place. “What do you want your tattoo to say?” the tattoo artist would ask.

Isn’t that ironic?” Not wanting to cause a scene in the middle of Target, I refrained from interjecting, but what I wanted to yell across the purses was: “No, in fact it isn’t.”
Back in the heat of the Indiana presidential primary, Obama came to speak at this university.

He said he wasn’t going to support bad policy because he wanted to be a politician that supported real solutions.
