About Me


I enjoy honey roasted peanuts and the Economist. I enjoy Schiphol airport most and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport least. I haven't been able to write a song in over a year and it's killing me. I'm just not depressed enough apparently. Update: I wrote a new song. 1/29/07I'm afraid I'm going to grow up one day and find my life is way too serious, so i'm subconsciously throwing a wrench in whatever leads me in that direction.I was on: Nickelodeon's 'Legends of the Hidden Temple' Vh1's 'I love the 80s Strikes Back' Britney/Madonna's 'Me Against the Music'Britney and I have held hands (Yes, I'm a huge deal).When faced with the choice to eat either termites or catepillars, I always have chosen termites. I have raised chickens named Justin, Britney, Avril, Janet, and Christina. Deborah Gibson has flirted with me. I've given Boy George coffee from Starbucks and saw a man get killed in DC's historic Shaw neighborhood. I wear sarongs around the house when I'm feeling lazy. I want to live abroad again. I drink out of a nalgene. I have shared a house with bats, mice, and snakes. My house was broken into and when I asked how the person got in I was told, "I used black magic to get in." That person was not kidding.I'm 6'4''.

My Interests

Making music, visiting exotic places, learning about the way the world works, learning new languages, making love, reading, drinking great wine (I actually prefer beer but drinking wine just looked better after I listed that I like making love), and staring at maps.

As you can see from the map above, I am quite popular in eastern Europe.
