About Me

I've been living in Los Angeles for the past 2.5 years after spending the majority of my life in the NY area. My hobbies include fine cuisine (primarily cooking on my own), travel, jogging and meeting people. I try to travel every 8 weeks or so, just to try something new. I'm self-employed so I'm able to work remotely, which helps my travel habits. I'm a cerebral yet passionate person who enjoys the simplicities and complexities of life.

Music:

Too many to list...quite varied though. I've seen G. Love and Dinosaur Jr./J Mascis more times than I can count and I do many of my own house and hip-hop remixes. About the only thing that won't make it into rotation will be the real Top 40ish songs and artists.

Television:

What can I say? I watch mostly boring TV. If I'm not using my time to watch a movie, it usually means it's something moederately educational or something comedic. I watch Discovery, History Channel, TLC. If not that, then chances are it's sports (Yankees games, college sports) or anything on Comedy Central.
