I am in the middle of a very passionate and heated love affair with my typewriter. Many nights there are secret, drunken entanglements of my fingers and her keys.

That being said, I write. I am not a writer, not yet. I like to drink and smoke and talk. Those three are only best when all together, any without the others is lacking. I pronounce both Ts in "button" and other words of the same likeness.

I am getting a degree in journalism, although I don't know what I am being taught is journalism anymore. Some of the best opinion and reporting are on personal blogs and the already clichéd Twitter.

I am a night owl, I prefer to see dawn over sunset and will often be holed away in some bar for the night and have dinner at 5 a.m. in a diner somewhere. If I am not at a bar then I am at my friend's apartment that has quickly become my home away from home. And if not there, I am likely lurking around on the Internet or being the imaginary fourth roommate at my friends' place.

I am a Marxist and atheist. I believe in total equality. That being said, I have a very dark and crude sense of humor that I rarely censor. I will make racist jokes, and sexist jokes, and every sort of joke that Carlin and Pryor fought to make mainstream because they are just jokes. And I love them for it.

The rest of who I am I hate to explain. If you are curious then say something, ask something, do something about it.

I want to be a journalist, but not for anything in print. I work a lot with web based material and social media. My true passion is to write novels, but realize making a living off that is nearly impossible and I doubt my own talents.

I currently go to Columbia College. I take anything I can that has to do with technology and journalism. I write a lot of stuff for myself that no one ever sees. I am also an intern for the Windy Citizen, a Chicago news site that is basically digg for Chicago, and have been there since June of 2009.

Before that I was a waiter and bartender at a couple places, most notably Edgewood Valley Country Club where the rich acted like children. Among the elite list of members was Ed Burke, the alderman of aldermen.

This should really say talents as the section name. What I am really good at... certainly not filling out profile information. I am a great bartender, I know that. I can put a sentence together on occasion too.

My height, then the way I dress, and from there it is either my nose, posture or something I say.

I think a lot about people in general. Just the way everything works and all the stories out there. I am particularly fascinated with love. It is one of the most written about things in the world, and no one can seem to define it.

At a bar or friend's place drinking and having fun. It is Friday, you are supposed to have fun that day.

I don't have private things.

You just should. Really, you should, I like talking. But as a warning, just because you messaged me does not mean I have to be kind in my reply.
