George’s Check Ins Across America
The great thing about the Internet is that you can revisit your past. Like a time capsule, it contains nuggets of information long forgotten, only to be uncovered. I recently stumbled upon Weeplaces – a Foursquare visualization tool. It shows your entire timeline of places that you have checked in. Here’s a visualization of my [...]
Remembering Mix Tapes from V’Days Passed.
My friend Emily recently posted a mix-tape from her youth – a mix tape filled with all those naive and cheesy songs from our youth. Even though we never knew each other, gazing at the tape made me see an inter-connectedness of our pasts – the generational wink and nods that occur through Top-40 songs, [...]
Remembering What Never Happened
On March 1st, I will toast to all things that could of been, for the things that actually happen tend to ultimately disappoint, while the things that never happen never do. They just remain there with the a sweet sullen melancholy of what could have been…. One of my favorite aspects of blogging is that [...]
The Beast and Dragon, Adored
I sat in the back of Destination, my arm around Emily, as she asked me how I could be such a hopeless romantic and an asshole. I started to tell the story of the former love of my life; a story that contains vignettes that have her filled with such vitriol that she behaves in [...]
George G Smith Jr’s Future is…
The movie Amelie is one of my favorite movies. In the beginning of the movie, the narrator goes on to explain the characters with a series of quirks – the little things that make each character different. Here’s a clip: One of my many quirks is the fact that I google the ending to everything [...]

The thing that I love about music the most is the fact that almost every person takes a personal stake into the artistic creation of someone else. The song, “Come Pick Me Up” by Ryan Adams is a song that I feel like I wrote. The emotions, my interpretations of some of the lines, the [...]
Fairly a Fairy Tale
For the last few years, my best friend has been a girl. Not just a girl, a specific girl with whom I have been madly in love with. I even have gone as far as professing her to be my future wife. Over those years, we’ve talked on the phone, over the internet, and occasionally [...]
Millennial Love and George Smith’s Future Wife
Eric and Alana, starting with their fourth podcast, brought up the idea of Millennial love – the way romance and love have changed with the addition of all this technology. As a single 28 year old, the only thing I know about love is what it’s not – still, the thought intrigued me. As people [...]
Diving In
I was just in a relationship for about a month and a half. It wasn’t a very serious one – but it ended on Sunday. I had a hard time understanding how I felt. In many sense, it was a month and a half – that’s nothing. I’ve dated girls for much longer. I’ve had [...]
