You Could DIE!!!!!!

About Me

For those who don't know me and want to: One of the funniest things I have ever seen is the button below. If you are laughing your ass off right now, or if you just recovered from such an event, we will get along well. I graduated from the University of Utah in Economics and Philosophy. And earned a Masters in Statistics from Columbia University. And I'm not nearly as boring as the subject I study, I swear. I like small bars where everyone knows each other. I don't like big, hip dance clubs that overcharge for everything and where you can't talk to your friends. I miss the mountains when I'm not around them. But I miss the city when I'm gone. And I miss all my friends when I'm not in SLC, NYC or SF. I'm friendly, but sarcastic. If you don't have a good sense of sarcasm, we probably won't click. I loved living in Queens because the sarcasm is a deep part of the culture there. And the people are hilarious. Bushwick is a great opportunity to feel like I'm really living in New York and enjoy an up 'n coming neighborhood. For those who are surprised I'm still in NYC... you know what they say... you can take lil' buddy outta New York, but you can't take New York outta lil' buddy. (my nick-name in NYC is lil' buddy)

My Blog

Poems I like

The subject line says it all.  I've been really into short ones.  The shorter the better.  If it fits on one line and says everything it needs, then it's perfect.  I'll probably po...

Giving money to bums

I was lying around at 5 am thinking about myself, where I've been, where I'm going, what it's going to take to get there, and everything it took to get here.  Thinking about my past necessarily b...

I can't sleep

It's 6 am in the fucking morning.  And all I see is the cigarette smoke passing over my computer screen and a few of these words because my eyes are barely open.  It's like they weigh more t...
