I live my life by one simple motto: WWJD, or What Would (Young) Jeezy Do? So far, it's working out pretty well.

Per the above, spitting hot fire to only the phattest beats. But I also work as a business strategy consultant, and travel a lot -from Baltimore to Shanghai and everywhere in between. I just moved back to the city to be closer to my family in NJ after spending the past 5 years having a great time in Chicago, and feel really fortunate to be able to now call the two best cities in the US home.

What I spend most of my time doing:
Cooking, beer in hand, with some good tunes on; laughing about inappropriate things with my friends; thinking about the beach, and the next chance I'll get to go surfing; hanging with the family; sleeping, I need my 8 hours like a child; and, for better or worse, consulting.

Not sweating the small stuff, and lending a different perspective. Also, navigating airports, and sending holiday cards (seriously, I'll go as far as to say I send the best holiday cards of any straight, single, Jewish guy...though that's admittedly a small pool).

That I look familiar (like a friend, marginal celebrity, etc.)

Often when I bump into a friend on the street while I have my headphones in and am in the zone, they tell me I look really intense, which comes as a shock since I'm a very laid back guy. What can I say, I'm just really feeling that One Direction album these days.

Books: The Sunday Times is my shit, but for real books Erik Larson, David Sedaris, Junot Díaz, Michael Lewis

Movies: Step Brothers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and anything involving Wes Anderson, Christopher Guest or Bill Murray (especially What About Bob). I'm even down for the occasional documentary like It Might Get Loud or Helvetica.

Shows: The League, Louie, The Daily Show, Planet Earth, Arrested Development (best show ever?), The Wire (wait, this is the best show ever)

Music: My rotation constantly changes, but for what it's worth the acts I've seen live the most times are Bruce Springsteen, The Roots, Girl Talk, Talib Kweli, P-Funk, The Wailers, The Hood Internet and Tom Petty. I have...interesting taste. Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Nina Simone, various EDM, Black Hippy crew (namely Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar), The xx, and early OutKast

Food: with hot sauce

Assuming family, friends, and roof over my head are a given:
1. My first surfboard (a beautiful but worn 7'10" Al Merrick hybrid, for those interested in such things)
2. Music and a quality pair of headphones
3. A worn-in pair of loafers or flip flops, fuck socks
4. Medium rare hamburger on a pretzel bread bun
5. The interwebs
6. Cold brew iced coffee, which I drink all year long

Food...buying it then cooking it, eating it, watching other people cook it, etc. My theory is that if you get a lot of joy out of food, then 3 times a day you get to be ridiculously happy -as you eat a meal- no matter what else is going on in the world around you

Why Pastafarian isn't an option on here under Religion

I'm probably out as opposed to hangin at home, and more likely at a bar, lounge, or restaurant than at Pacha or Le Bain. But I could be at home watching a movie, or at Le Bain...that's just not typical.

I try to catch the shows my parents, sister and brother-in-law watch so I can be relevant in their conversations. This means I watch (ok, and enjoy) The Voice and Downton.

I messaged you and you want to know more

You know "quotation" is a noun, "quote" is a verb, but don't really give a fuck that most people mess that up

You're awesome, and you need someone to walk your dog with/for you (I clearly miss my family dog)
