Hey! You're part of it!

About Me



I'm in NEW YORK. NEW YORK CITY. WORD. Booyah.
Currently enrolled in the NYC Teaching Fellows program, earning a Master's, working for a technology based school, being bad to the bone.

RECENT NEWS: As soon as our apartment hunt has ended, I plan to do a little music recording on my own. Waahoo!

My Interests

Guitar, drums, bass, anything you can play, video games, Liz, your mom, Melvin Krubowski, Cornelius Cricket (and Boy Scout Troop 117), not your kids, not your love life

I'd like to meet:


My great-grandfather now (because I don't remember too much of him)
Edward Norton
John McCrea
Isaac Brock
Mason Jennings
Deaner and Gener - rock on

Music:

Modest mouse, The Pixies, Local H, Cake, The Black Keys, Cornelius Cricket, Superdrag, Ween, RHCP, Built to Spill, Nick Drake, Mason Jennings, Beck, Neutral Milk Hotel, Mates of State, Toadies, Stereophonics, Porcupine Tree, Andrew Bird (solo or/and his Bowl of Fire), Soul Coughing

Movies:

Stars: Depp, Norton, Giamatti, Vaughn, Cusack, Del Toro, Roth, Dafoe, Elfman, Weisz, Brody...the list goes on.
Movies I've seen recently: Caddyshack, The Lost Boys, Superman Returns, Saw II

Television:

I HATE TV. Throw it away, blow it up. Cable is only good for the internet or telephone service. And Fox Soccer Channel (go CREW). And Adult Swim (I love crazy cartoons). And The Discovery Channel (go Bear).

Books:

Recently: Wheel of Time books 1-5, The Crockery Cook
Currently Reading: Lord of Chaos, The Dahli Lama's Book of Wisdom, http://www.edrum.info, teaching literature (by force more than choice)

Heroes:

Anyone who actually has the balls to try and make it in the music business. If you have done this, call me and tell me how.

Reflections

It's 1:48 AM and it will probably be later after I get through with this.  I still have things to do, even though I just put my spark plugs into my car.  I recently read an amazing story abo...

Post, repost, agree, disagree, who really cares?

I'm so sick of stereotypical "post this," "repost this," "if you agree, do this," etc. bulletins on MySpace.  I'm tired of seeing people with 15,000 surveys they fill out, and I'm upset with bein...

On Thursday, July 27, Cornelius Cricket will be the last band ever to play at Club 202.  Why?  Well, they've sold the place.  It'll probably be turned into a bar/pub/cabaret for those ...
