About Me

I am 25 years old. I have my BA in Media Studies. I work for an Audio Visual company based out of Manhattan. I am constantly torn between staying and growing with my current job, or jumping into a different field. I over think everything I do. I love to listen to music and watch movies. I tend to become obsessive with certain bands or directors that I love. In many ways I am your basic guy, and in many ways I am far from it.

My Interests

My Ipod.
Netflix.
Concerts.
Collecting Bootlegs
Road Trips
The 1960's.
Relaxing.
Drinking Coffee
Deep Thinking
Watching Movies.
Wasting Time.

Fuck Apple and Fuck iTunes. My ipod hates me, and I love it so.  Now I have to go to the Apple store and wait in line, get a new one and reload all my music.   Woe is me.
