ABOUT ME

M/29, from the Philly suburbs. I'm an Irish-American Jew who speaks a good amount of german, has a dark sense of humor, and is up for meeting new people to drink/talk/smoke/wander the city with.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all unimaginably lucky to be alive, clinging to this ball of mud floating through nothing, and we are all we have. To be anything other than good to each other is to spit in the face of that fact.

And, because we're constantly paying back/balancing the unimaginably good luck of existence with the oft-shitty luck we call Life, we must remember our choices: Laugh, or go crazy.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I've climbed the snake trail of Masada to watch the sun rise over the Dead Sea.

I've gone sledding on the lawn of the US Capitol.

I've woken up at sunrise to get drunk at Oktoberfest.

I can talk about what I've experienced in life. Less than some, more than others. Beyond that, it's mostly speculation.
