About Me

I am a law student, I love it, mostly because I'm insane.

In college I wrote a 30 page paper on The Simpsons....It remains the best thing I have ever written.

I play guitar and sing in a jazz/metal/ridiculous band called From The Firmament. I've been a member of several relatively popular NJ bands and am certain that musically (as well as generally) my best years are behind me.

I have always been an overachiever. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I pay money to live in what is, objectively (based on a number of criteria, including crime, per capita income, etc.), the worst city in the United States.

My Interests

pretension, arguing, guitar, brass instruments, cooking, logic-chopping, beer, mixing metaphors, poker, eating, books, yelling, deep-frying, collecting absolutely worthless things and putting them in alphabetical order

I'd like to meet:

A sugar mama...or Larisa Oleynik...but mostly a sugar mama.

Television:

The Simpsons, Futurama, Arrested Development, The OC, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Good Eats...that's pretty much it...apparently my general TV rule is that unless it's animated, set in Newport Beach or starring Alton Brown (who I affectionately refer to as "Food Nerd"), I don't want anything to do with it

Books:

I mostly read books about the law...other than that my favorites are "Catch 22", "On The Road", "The Great Gatsby" and "One-Hundred Years of Solitude"...I read a lot more than that, but not anything that people browsing random myspace profiles would be interested it

Heroes:

Alton Brown, Cyclops Kitten, the White Rose guy (not Manny, the guy that does the actual cooking...no matter what hour or what day I go in there it's the same guy....and he's never done wrong by me)
