I was raised in Brooklyn and certain words I say will convey that, other words not as much, but believe me, you'll know I'm a Brooklyn boy if you meet me.

I have two rules when it comes to people: I will treat you the way you treat me and I am very open minded. I have no room for hate, and surround myself with similar people. After all, as Biggie said, "Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way!"

Work in city government.
Urban Planning graduate student
Supplement the time in between with friends and family.
I aspire to become a famous writer. Because of that aspiration, I decided to start writing a novel. Think Paulo Coelho meets Kahled Hosseini.

I also recently started learning how to Salsa (Tango is next), and I could definitely use a dance partner!

"If you're good at something, never do it for free." -Proverb
With that being said, I do all of these for free:

Make people laugh.
Play guitar.
Write
Athletic endeavours.
Photography.
Draw (I have a huge rendering of the library from my college, Abbott Hall)
Make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I have a pretty quality smile. Not one tooth is missing!

My eyes are an interesting mixture of green, blue, and gray

Or, most people think I'm Ryan Seacrest. Haha

Books:The Kite Runner, The Alchemist, Frankenstein, and lots of non-fiction.

Movies: Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, The Pianist, Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, Fight Club, Se7en, The Shawshank Redemption, Catch Me If You Can, Seven Pounds

I'm also a huge documentary lover and probably watch too many

Shows: When I have time.....Anything on the History channel, Discovery channel, National Geographic, Big Bang Theory, Friends, Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, and The King of Queens.

Music: Mostly classic rock with some contemporary music thrown in there. AC/DC, Free, Led Zeppelin, Breaking Benjamin, John Mayer, Billy Joel, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Coldplay, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Green Day.

Food: I particularly like Asian and Spanish style food because I'm a big fan of rice.

Besides for the obvious family and friends answer:

Pen and paper
My DSLR camera
Internet (smartphone/tablet/computer)
Books
Learning
Good hygiene

How they get those little plastic tubes on shoelaces.

What my legacy will be.
Stories.
All the different novels I want to write.
All the different places I want to visit.
Design and the urban environment.

Usually out with friends getting drinks at a bar or restaurant.
I may also be studying or writing papers (Ah, the life of a grad student).
If I'm lucky, I'll have a laid back night watching Netflix or hanging out with friends at someone's apartment.

I could never be a vegetarian because animal crackers are so damn delicious!
