About Me


I like a lot of things and I certainly love a lot of people. It's expected that a lot of those things are going to change from time to time, and sometimes at rates more rapid than others. As for those things about me I can assure you won’t change. . . I don’t smoke and I’m happiest when I’m experiencing live music. My father’s laugh sits at the top of my most favorite things in life. Vegetables are amazing. If you can make me laugh, you’re pretty much in and if you need someone to talk to, I’ll listen. I cry a lot, but rarely due to real life. My tears usually go along with tv commercials and sad stories. Inaction is my biggest turn off, it’s simply the worst, the absolute worst.

Darling Youre Mean.

I sat on the bus from the subway station to my house following work tonight - crotch in face. Some Fabio look-a-like caught me looking at him and moved amongst the people and stood strategically in fr...

All of the Above.

My Ode to 2007. Blow fish. Phone calls until 4 a.m. Graduation. TV on the Radio. C'est what? The White Orchid. Patios and being drunk at noon. Kings of Leon. Keeping New Years Resolutions. Exploding ...

Confessions of a Blog

The long weekend is over and people are flooding back into the city from their weekends away in the country, suburbia, or what have you. I myself never left. Being poor and questioning how I'm going t...

Under Pressure; 2:37

Yesterday on my break I played "Under Pressure" by Bowie and Queen four times in a row on my ipod in order to overcome this seemingly miserable mood I've been battling along with a sad case of exhaust...

And youll say, "I noticed."

There is half eaten veggie dog sitting on a plate in front of me. The smell from the bit of ketchup left on the plate hurts. I sometimes wonder if I drink too much. Note: not too often, just too much....

It was almost four when the damn elephants from upstairs woke me up. It started with one of them falling on the floor. It sounded as though they came through onto my head and I jolted from sleep. The ...

Subtle .

The first three notes play out and you close your eyes. You have no idea what is about to happen. The bass drum kicks in. Thud. The vibrations run from the soles of your feet and inhabit the core of y...

Breaking up use to be so hard to do.

I thought I would have a lot to say about an article found in Maclean's magazine, click here to read it. It's basically another one of those realities that places a funny little questions mark ab...

Damn Bitches in the Streets!

I'm pretty anal when it comes to following rules. I have been ever since I was young and saw the torment my sister put my parents through while breaking them. Rules to me, make people happier. Without...
