Born in Livingston, NJ, I moved to Brooklyn, NY at age 4 only to return to the Garden State 11 years later. I love New York for its charm, culture, unpredictability and decadence, but I love New Jersey for all the things that you have to have lived here to appreciate.I run a small business based in Brooklyn, though I often can work from wherever I am. My phone rings a lot. I am in it solely for the money.I also work as a sportswriter, which is my passion. Believe me when I tell you, that's not AT ALL about the money.My friends mean the world to me. And while I have an easy time making new ones, it takes a lot to be allowed into my confidence and inner-circle, and even more difficult to move up the hierarchy.As in any kind of relationship, there is nothing I hold more dear than loyalty and honesty in a friendship, and nothing I despise more than their opposites. Being phony and two-faced is just another form of dishonesty.I have a very low tolerance for idiots, and an even lower tolerance for ignorance. Not that I don't act like an idiot now and then, but there is a time and a place. But if you happen to be born an idiot, well, I am willing to forgive and deal with it as long as you recognize your weakness and don't pretend to know what the fuck you're talking about when, clearly, you don't. There's nothing worse than someone talking out of their ass.I am open minded, yet I resist change. I am anal and overly organized, yet to the untrained eye, my living quarters might appear less than tidy. I like to think I am always right and know it all, but I love nothing more than to be proven wrong and taught new things. If I don't respect your opinion, you will always remain on the outside looking in.I love to laugh and have a good time. Even if it's laughing at the stupidest thing. I enjoy the simple things in life. I don't need material things to make me happy, though I can appreciate them when they present themselves.I am wickedly sarcastic, I think political correctness is for retards, and I will say anything about any subject at any time, whether it's to shock, prove a point or just for a cheap laugh. I think people are way too sensative and need to smoke a fatty and chill the fuck out.But remember, I am an equal opportunity ripper. I might make a cruel, heartless joke at your expense, but I will also make them at my own. And I have no problem appreciating others' humor at my expense. It's pretty hard to offend me.I also believe marijuana should be legal, though I don't believe it's for everyone. I have no respect for people who go through life fucked up, but there is a time and a place.Though I respect and admire true faith, I believe orginized religion is responsible for 9/10 of this planet's evil -- afterall, more people have died in the name of God then for any other reason -- while the other 10 percent should be blamed on reality television, MTV and the New York Yankees.I love the 80's. Everything about it. The music, the movies, the pop-culture, and the fact that I didn't have to work for a living during that decade. If knew then what I know now... Youth is definitely wasted on the young.FOR MORE, CHECK OUT MY BLOG: www.mytwocents-sjpsandman.blogspot.com
