I'm the guy who holds the door open extra long for people when they're fumbling with their groceries, then ends up spilling my coffee in the process. The same guy who picks up your missed basketball shot at the trash can with your coconut water box and still smiles approvingly at your attempt. Next time sweets. The one who listens to his music so loud on the subway people ask... "What is that you're listening to?" and I reply "Something new. Would you like this right headphone for you?" I probably forgot your brother's birthday, but I remembered to pick up candles for the big storm headed our way. I wear sunglasses too much, and sunscreen not enough. I've lost touch with you, but all I want is a new hair do.

And although I may have fixed the air conditioning, I'm still trying to repair the heat.

Food:
I seriously eat at least one slice of pizza a day. Same with a cup of coffee. After that it's open game... Indian, Mexican, and Japanese seem to be the go to lately. Maybe a little Greek in there? Perhaps some Thai.

How about six things that we could all do without.

shredding a tidal wave of whiskey on a surfboard made of don't care.

Just kidding, but for real?

I want to own an island and zip line naked from the front door of my Swiss Family Robinson style tree-house into the ocean every morning to take a bath. Then lay on the sand while my body dries in the sun's rays while drinking out of a coconut. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Please don't click that star rating thing above saying I'm a 4-star or 5-star... It's like poking me.

I already know I'm a shining star, my school teachers, Earth Wind and Fire, and Mos Def told me already.

All it does is convey you aren't able to initiate conversation. Or maybe you're just slightly interested, or lazy, or introverted...

Would you poke me if we were in line at the market instead of say hello?

Didn't think you would, so just shoot me a message me already...
