Hello!,

I'm a writer and musician (without an alcohol problem). I went to school for play-writing and screenwriting. I currently write peoples bios and work for a music venue in Manhattan.

I have trouble explaining myself. I'm sort of always joking/always serious. Or maybe it goes back and forth, but if so, it's really fuckin fast.

My primary interest in life is mindfulness. I suppose because it's the only way we experience life in the first place, but we could BS later, if you really want to.

I try not to get angry with others, because that's usually just a way of escaping the actual fact that you're suffering, and I'm not interesting in escaping. Where is there to go?

Working at the venue.

Putting together a new band.

Making an album with my favorite NYC composer/roommate.

Meditating.

Problematizing.

I had a teacher who taught me this one. Changed my life.

I'm either feeling extroverted and marx-botherly, and people tell me I'm "fun" or "funny", or I'm feeling like sharing and discussion things, in which I'm told I'm "philosophical", for lack of a better word. To be fair, I'm sure I get "weird" a fair amount, but I try to make a good impression and meet people honestly and openly.

The Universe.

My goal in "life" is to bring this to absolute zero. My needs, not the universe.

I try to spend most of my time away from thought and conceptualization, and just be present in mind and body.

But I end up thinking about that a lot...

seeing or playing a show.

I don't have anything to hide. You can come to my house and look through all my closets.

you know the secret that lets girls write to boys.

or...

i've discovered how awesome you are, and expressed that in a very awkward, but well intentioned PM.
