Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

learned two things from my Dad, eat your pizza crust and always wear shoes when you ride a bike (otherwise you might end up with nine toes, like him). I can lip sync the dialogue from just about any episode of The Simpsons. Homer Simpson is like an uncle to me, but Homer probably doesn’t read Maureen Dowd in the Times. I’m a pro at adapting to new surroundings, and I know the value of self-reliance and Spartan living; growing up, we once moved seven times in 14 months. I once attended a 'peaceful' anti-war rally where the police got carried away and sprayed everyone with tear gas like it was air freshener. I got straight A’s in high school but was kept off the honor roll for failing the academic portion of Driver’s Ed. I did eventually get my license so now I like jumping in my car on the spur of the moment to meander across the country or catch the leaves turning in New Hampshire.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I blew off my real job a couple of months ago to work for Obama. Its been one of the most exhausting and trying things I have ever done. I've met the most amazing people, and I'm going to have some pretty great stories when it is over. Who knows, its not often you get to say you were a part of history. I have no fuckin clue about what I am doing afterward.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Honestly I have this fantasy of sitting in a bar utterly utterly exhausted at 2:30 AM on November 5th. The girl of my dreams is sitting next to me as the election is called in our favor. As of right now I'd estimate about 80% of my thought processes involve working to make that happen. The rest I'd chalk up to liquor, simpsons quotes and basic motor function.
