You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

About Me

I love traveling when I can. You will find me in Europe at least once a year. Having family there helps. I don't take enough pictures. I try to do nice things for the people closest to me. I pretend I know how to blow glass (i.e. I make flowers, wonky cups/vases and paper weights). I just got into Grad School for an MPA in Environmental Science and Policy at Columbia - so, starting in May of 2007 I'll disappear from all things social and friendly. Prepare yourself. You'll miss me.Go Red Sox. Yay, Outdoors. Yay Booze. Yay Friends. Yay Karaoke. Yay for Beautiful eyes. I've been told that I smell terrific too...
"...and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For Love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure."

My Interests

Karaoke, Red Sox (and Just about Anything Baseball related), 90's Rock, the Dark Tower, northern California, Skydiving in Hawaii (ok - anything in Hawaii), the out-doors, Smokey Jazz Clubs, better bars, Parks in the evening, not having to wait for the subway, my friends...

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I'm all over the place. I love all music... except for 98% of the lame ass crap they play on the radio these days...

My Dad! and Anyone who is awesome at what they do and is very humble about it. Christopher Walken (I wish I could speak without punctuation...) Gary Sheffield is the EXACT and Literal opposite of my Hero. He is the Biggest Duche in the Universe.

My Blog

Fairly Pointlessly Awesome

So, remember that time when things were swell? yeah me too, but that doesn't have any bearing on this blog at all... wait, maybe it does. I don't blog well. I think It's because I don't have a very...
