I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a 27 year old writer and Lit Major from the Bronx. I like when stuff is green, because green is an excellent color for stuff to be. Also drunken cards, Irish Carbombs, experimental poetry, Kung Fu, Graffiti, subway parties, Trip-Hop, speakeasies and underground Jazz clubs are all good things for stuff to be.

My Interests

This is covered pretty much everyplace else, so instead of putting my interests here, I'm going to use this space to link you to poems I have in various places on the web.
