About Me

I think that sense of humor is the highest form of intelligence. Doing long division or coming up with a cure for the ebola virus is nice and all, but stringing together a bunch of seemingly random references and analogies into a joke that only hits you a split second after you've had time to process it...now that's real talent. I come from a long line of conversationalists and have been known to schmooze it up under even the harshest of circumstances. I read an obscene amount of magazines and they'll probably ban me from Al's Newsstand for creasing the corners of Esquire before long. I had a brief flirtation with Buddhism until I realized I should just use it when it suits my purposes which goes completely against the purposes of Buddhism, but that's besides the point.

My Interests

Thinking out loud, Slate.com, hazzlenut coffee creamer, side projects, telling myself I'm going to write a blog, having my ideas stolen by my friend who actually does write a blog, New Media, harmlessly flirting with the receptionist, having people take my picture and never seeing it again, attempted eloquence, bringing independent films to the marketplace in an efficient and cost-effective manner, international ne'er do wells, defending Myspace, talking shit about Myspace, being a paradox, overanalyzing.
