I am here for Friends

About Me

I am 26, I live in Philadelphia and I direct theater. I am a momma's boy, particularly cause I have two of them. I recently coined two terms about my beliefs - I am a world citizen and a spiritual atheist. Ask me about them. I like to laugh and try to be kind to all those who come my way, although they have to be willing to put up with sarcasm.

My Interests

Well my theater and film side compete with my baseball and poker side. I like to pyschoanalyze stuff. A good walk is always nice.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty happy with who I know, and I got to meet boyhood hero Cal Ripken two years ago so I feel pretty set here. He was nice but he didn't love me the way he should have.

Music:

Nina Simone, Avenue Q Soundtrack, Dave Matthews Band, Kanye West, Ray Charles, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jill Scott, Rufus Wainwright, REM, and whatever punk music my friend Brian tries to get me into.

Movies:

In no particular order, and a neverending list... Modern Times, Sling Blade, Millions, Trainspotting, You Can Count on Me, Secrets and Lies, The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica, eXistenz, Shakespeare in Love, Maria Full of Grace, The Pianist, Do the Right Thing, Annie Hall, Finding Nemo, Triplets of Belleville, Whale Rider, Amores Perros, Network, Strangers on a Train, Notorious, Dirty Pretty Things, Touch of Evil, The Rules of the Game, Ed Wood, Cool Hand Luke, All About My Mother, The Conversation

Television:

South Park, The Wire, The Simpsons, The Daily Show, Scrubs, Arrested Development, Heroes, Lost, old school West Wing, Homicide: Life on the Street, News Radio

Books:

Recently, a lot of Christopher Moore. Particularly recommend Lamb. All-time favorites include Roald Dahl, Ender's Game, Tess of the D'urbervilles, Harry Potter, Lord of the Flies, Huck Finn, and more!

Heroes:

My parents (cue sappy music but it's true!).

The dawn of a new day

Life sure takes some odd twist and turns - one minute you are comfortable, insulated, protected, and then the next you are twisting, turning, spiraling, unable to maintain your balance, desperately lo...

I'm nervous today
