About Me

I'm a sarcastic cynic and a hopeless romantic. I served two years in the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso and I also urinated in the boys bathroom at CBGB. On the same shopping trip i buy plain soy milk and cheetos. I use organic crystal deodorant and aquanet hairspray. On a given day I could listen to sigur ros, rammstein, the smiths, or Anthony Jobim. I express myself freely, and sometimes keep secrets...
