About Me

I'm a freelance graphic designer. I live on the Southwest Side of Chicago. I'm single. I like to go out on a Saturday afternoon without a plan and just go where the impulse takes me. I prefer low-key over OMG EXCITEMENT. I drink lots of coffee. I love Chicago. I like the Sox. I don't like the Cubs. I drink. I smoke. I snore. I take naps when I can. I don't own a car anymore. I don't like bullshitters and flakes. I don't like drama. I don't apologize for being me.

My Blog

Damn, I hate birthdays

As of an hour ago, I'm now 33 years old. Doesn't sound so bad at first glance, but I'm on a roller coaster ride to 40 that's careening out of control, cannot stop, will not stop. I don't see myself as...

I don't do the blog thing much...

...maybe because I'm kind of a private person, and I don't tell everything I know to strangers. That's just part of who I am, I guess.
