About Me

I hate wearing socks and I hate sitting "correctly" in chairs.

"I don't want to have to do this living.
I just walk around.
I want to be swept off my feet, you know?
I want my children to have magical powers.
I am prepared for amazing things to happen.
I can handle it."
--me and you and everyone we know--..

My Interests

i want to take photos of every person in my life. when are you free?

I'd like to meet:

1. the perfect cup of coffee
2. a comfortable silence
3. some good people with whom i can argue politics, enjoy good music, do absolutely nothing somedays and still have a great time, and still not take ourselves so seriously we can't dress up like idiots and act a fool.

Movies:

the mc hammer story

Television:

true life: i'm from staten island

Books:

you shall know our velocity by dave eggers
