To love is a necessary condition of my happiness.

About Me

I live to make people laugh hysterically. I can admire a lovely woman from afar even when I’m sitting right next to her. Utterly loyal to my friends some of which I’ve had for more than 20 years and most of whom are women. I have had a strange life. Contributing writer and former West Coast VP of High Times Magazine. Painfully shy. I’m into nostalgia from The Monkees to Rubik’s Cubes. I like dirty sounding words that aren’t dirty, like coccyx, uvula, masticate, and peninsula. Born in the Caribbean and I try to get back whenever possible but I grew up in Boston. Bret Easton Ellis is one of my favorite people in the whole world.
