I am witty, sarcastic, and improving.
My Self-Summary
I am professional writer(of speeches!), a part time runner (of
streets!), and a full time glutton for punishment (as an Orioles
fan, a Liberal, and a Democrat!)
I watch entirely too much baseball, read entirely too much, listen
to entirely too much Radiohead, go to entirely too many movies, go
on entirely too many runs, and make entirely too many unsuccessful
jokes.
What I’m doing with my life
I am writing for a living, which is what I always wanted to do and
never knew it. I am living in a pretty cool neighborhood, even if
it smells pretty gross on sunday mornings. I am looking for
something to do with my spare time now that the Obama campaign is
over. Looking for a way to continue writing while helping
people/doing good in my next job. Which would preclude working for
Fox News.
I’m really good at
thinking through problems, persistence, writing, driving,
navigating an iPod while driving (an under appreciated skill),
running, fantasy baseball, reading, sleeping, remembering
incredibly useless information, making lists without punctuation at
the end
The first things people usually notice about me
I think this is the part you fill in. My height, maybe?

of Monte Cristo, Battlecry of Freedom, From Hell, Watchmen, V for

The six things I could never do without
baseball (and complaining about the results thereof), running gear,
something to read, orange juice, Radiohead's "The Bends," something
to write with
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What I would do for a Klondike bar
On a typical Friday night I am
protecting a world that hates and fears me. Or hanging out with
friends. One or the other.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
The Oriole Bird once told me to go fuck myself.
You should message me if
you want to. And you know you do. So what are you waiting for?
