About Me

photographs taken from pictograms xanga photo blog.

******************************************************** *Currently writing for Ruckus Magazine while working as a server/cook at a pizza restaurant...annnnd a manager and hospitality associate at an Athletic Club because unfortunately in the economic times we live in, my passion doesn't necessarily pay the bills...yet. I'm not asking for too much, I just want to pursue my passion of writing for magazines and live comfortably. I'm also very interested in creative non-fiction i.e., David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, Dan Kennedy and Hollis Gillespie and my writing style is similar to those. (However, I am not even going to pretend I am as good as any of them...yet.)Some other journalists/writers I really look up to are: Nick Hornby, Sylvia Plath, Aldous Huxley, J.D Salinger, Ray Bradbury, Hubert Selby, Jr., Jo Ann Beard, Stephen Chbosky, Ken Kesey and Mark Twain

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Zach Braff, Maynard James Keenan, Jack Nicholson, Trent Reznor, Johnny Depp, Johnny Cash, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Dan Kennedy, David Sedaris and Hollis Gillespe.
