About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Die On My Bicycle and Be Resurrected

ABOUT ME

I have studied creative writing and political science. I'm a vegetarian. I usually wing it. I live everyday like a Michael Jordan dunk. I'm a pretty lucky guy.

PHILOSOPHY

Raise your arms higher than Patrick Ewing can and dunk all over his face.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Southern Rap, The Smiths, Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Lee Perry, The Replacements, The National, Modest Mouse and a slew of other "The" bands and noisy groups.

Eternal Sunshine.. and Annie Hall are among my favorite movies. Space Jam (of course). Also anything with Bill Murray.

I love Sherman Alexie, Edgar Allen Poe, Jonathan Safran Foer, Charles Bukowski, Naomi Klein, and Sylvia Plath. I've read most biographies about Hank Williams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always see raccoons stuck in sewers for some reason.

I also fell onto a dead crocodile in Guatemala when I was 12 and have been terrified of going into water ever since.

Also I was alive throughout the career of a certain basketball phenom named Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like discussing books and trying to interpret meaning from books and film. Vegan/vegetarian cooking is also crucial sharing skills! I like sharing tacos. And BIKES!
