Some great reading – and I hope it becomes a book in the future.
I met Jason Taylor in May of 1999, the year before he took Hyannis Sound’s stage presence to a new level, three years before he rode his bike across the US and four years before he took a Peace Corps job in Belize. Back for grad school at Tufts’ revered Fletcher School last year, JT added a Boston marathon and other adventures to his bedpost.
But the thing that holds my attention most is his presence. Jason is a storyteller. Not necessarily the fiction-type, but more of a “guess what happened to me today?” And I see a combo David-Mamet, food-culture-travel writer emerging. His perspective is an ideal anthropologist, his writing is bonafide (claims he learned the “big words” from toothpaste labels)… and he’s very funny. Today, this reality is one-step closer. JT has logged most of his writing into a blog and posted it for the lucky.
For the best procrastination tool for the work-labored public, go read JT here.
