About Me

I guess it is time to tell the world that I now live in New Jersey. I followed my girlfriend here because she is going to med school. I always vowed that the person with worse prospects should move to be with the one who has better options. That plan was safe because I was doing all these great things, but then I found myself working and dating a med student to be. Since I could be an accountant anywhere in the world, and she could be a med student at only one place in the world, the only logical thing to do was to move to New Brunswick. So now my job sucks and I haven't been to my house in weeks. I haven't even met one of my roommates who moved in September 1st. It is currently November 7th. But hey, if I really didn't like my situation, I could just work in New York or move. And if you ever talk to me, you would know that I couldn't be happier with my life, so clearly moving and New York on not on my radar of things to do.

My Interests

Reading, thinking, conversing, grad students, teachers, politics, economics, philosophy, moving to random places (different from travelling), crazy theories, viz, Half-dead theory, refutation of gravity, the shrinking size of our population (height).

I'd like to meet some of my old friends from Cali. That is sort of a cop out, since all I really have to do is call the 10 or so who live in NYC. For real though, all you Albany folks, I will make it to NYC one day, and we will kick it.

Woefully disdain explanation of "Half-Dead Theory"
