Photo Partner Project

Jelani Photo Parter Picture

This is Jelani Vaughn, my photo partner. Jelani is an interesting human being. He eats sleeps and breathes Cane’s fried chicken (but then again who doesn’t right?) and he also happens to be my next-dorm neighbor (see what I did there?) in the Candy Land themed Chocolate Trail. Jelani and I bonded over fried chicken and video games towards the beginning of the year, and if that isn’t the best way to start a friendship I don’t know what is. He likes to listen to J. Cole and Fetty Wap, and is an Architecture major. We enjoy eating food and talking about and playing video games together. He’s an all around cool guy and if you don’t already know Jelani you should definitely go out of your way to introduce yourself to and become friends with this him. I look forward to spending the year next door to him and eating lots of fried chicken.

Short North Adventure

A day in the short north with Kevin and Adam. We managed to hijack a COTA bus, travel the world, paint a beautiful landscape painting, and eat lots of good food in the North Market. At least one of those is true.

About Me

I have been called an oddball, an eccentric, a goof, a comedian, a joker, an artist, a Baker Westian, and many other nicknames that may or may not be spot on. Pick your favorite. I was born and raised in Pasadena, California which is a suburb near Los Angeles, California and yes, I am a celebrity Hollywood actor who surfs skates and says “brah” at every given opportunity. I plan on holding on to my ravishing sense of humor and interest in the arts as I continue my education at The Ohio State University, and I hope to meet and befriend as many of my fellow peers and superiors as I can while I make this transition into adulthood.
