My past, present, and future.
Renegade Lubavitchers, Ex-Orthodox kids, Jewish bicycle fanatics with tattoos, people (especially in LA) to booty dance with, ride bikes with, and go to reggae/hip hop shows with. I want to meet someone who will edit my writing, documentary & movie makers to collaborate with, and people to cook dinner and eat with.
I want not to just meet you, but to get to know you better. I want to hang out and make silly art with you again, the way I did before I learned that everything has to be something.

Bronx Jon, you are sorely missed...
