I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm in my 3rd law of law school at Cooley in Lansing, Michigan. Michigan is like a nightmare that you wake up from, splash some cold water on your face and feel better the nightmare is over and then you look up and realize, you are living the nighmare.I grew up in Atlantic City, NJ. I miss home,...sometimes. My best friend just had a baby with his wife and that is making me realize that I'm getting old.When I'm not studying, I'm writing or on a softball field somewhere. Writing is my passion. I'm working on a couple of scripts and write for Football.com and my school newspaper "The Pillar".I love sports, I play them and gamble on them Gotta love Fantasy football and baseball).I've made some real bonds in Michigan. Joe, Brian, Jim and Tera come to mind. Michigan friends are different from Atlantic City friends. People are not people everywhere you look, there are major differences.I write alot of blogs, usually prose that tells a story. check them out, tell me what you think.

My Interests

School, Writing, sports and anything else interesting.What you should know:I will tell you later.

I'd like to meet:

Myself. Other than that, someone deep. People who have something to say and are not afraid to say it. Image is overrated so I'm not going to sit here and say I'd like to meet some sports star or actor, I've met enough of them and trust me, the experience is not what people make it out to be.I want to meet someone I could learn something from and these people can come from any walk of life.In the last year, I have met people who have changed my perspective on a lot of things and if you know me, that is not easy to do. Even though we are all separated from each other, they mean a lot to me and I'm grateful they came into my life.
