Something Witty

Who am I?

I am a professional at being Ukrainian, sleeping, and tripping when no one is watching. My name is Lara Chelak. What is this thing? It's a personal notebook of sorts; quick thoughts and musings on just about anything (although I'm a web-nerd at heart). I run a company and work as a full-time student in the great city of New York as well.

Ukraine after the revolution : The New Yorker

Obscene and absolutely demeaning article by the New Yorker. “Ukrainians practically are Russians” … right. I’d say go back to school, but most colleges don’t even teach or provide the academic means necessary to properly understand Eastern Europe at any level. Doesn’t ANYONE else realize that the current “president” of Ukraine is a convicted felon? (Voter fraud, rape, etc…)

Thank you, Columbia University, for being a small light in the storm.

NYTimes: You’ve outdone yourself in terms of pretentiousness with this one. Say Dean & DeLuca one more time. How more out of touch with reality could you be?!
