About Me

i feel these things are similar to biographies which tend to be really vain - to think that i'm interesting enough that anyone actually wants to read a whole block of information about me -- what i've done, where i've gone; it's pretty silly. and you couldn't possibly know whether or not i'm telling the truth. i may not even be a guy, or an earthling for that matter.anyway, i'm in Graduate School at The New School in Manhattan - going for my Master's in Poetry. after six years in North Carolina, i moved back up north, and now i live in an apartment in Brooklyn. i sitll work two consecutive days a week in NJ to pay rent so i go back and forth a lot. it's a hassle, but it's what i want to be doing, and i'm grateful for that.the broadistics: i'm a vegetarian. i try not to watch television - tv is bad for you, especially the news and commericals and mtv. i do however watch sports and the Cooking Network and SciFi so maybe i'm a hypocrite. i have two tattoos. the dynamics of relationships fascinate me -- specifically, the idea of love, which may not be as intangible as we're taught to believe. then again, i can't put my finger on it, so as of now, it's personally intuitive, which makes it intangible. huh? i'm a nerd. i view and treat the new york jets like a significant other. thalia field is one of my favorite authors. i'm not a big drinker, but i binge occasionally. for those of you who don't know or are too busy seeing what everyone else perceives, brown and black actually do match. right now i'd say im optimistically agnostic because i believe in something, though I totally disagree with organized religion. and lastly, honesty is extremely important, both your and my honesty. i try to be true to myself in everything, and i'd hope you do the same.

My Interests

i really enjoy reading and writing. music is great, but i'm stubbornly picky. chess. searching for wormholes is futilely entertaining. 2Kx. black. theorizing about relationships. literary aesthetics. watching movies. hummus. white. playing jaystone in magic. bashing maroon 5. trying to understand girls, which is about as useful as searching for wormholes. exercise. the JETS. shattering stereotypes. journaling.
