I don't do this, but someone kind of awesome (on new years eve of all nights) convinced me of this site's inherent goodness. I'm a big real-life meeter. I've never started a relationship off the internet. In fact, I don't date. I don't do many traditional het-type things. I sure sound fun already!

I have a weakness for all of the following: anything camo (minus the armed forces), the New Yorker, $1 PBR nights, indulgent podcasts, Vampire Weekend, Diane Sawyer, any collision of peanut butter and chocolate. I work it (on out) in publicity. I try not to enter my kitchen because I know it is growing new lifeforms, and soon they will have opposable thumbs. I want to bend the direction of everything. I love Brooklyn and I don't think I could live anywhere else right now. An ideal day for me involves getting paid, buying comic books, sneakers and pitchers of beer. Because I guess I am a 15-yr-old boy.

Having a better time than you. I kid. Really, I am: pimping books + authors, reading books, painting, talking, falling down more than the average person, trying new things, staying out, staying in, and staying one step ahead of you.

whatever I try.

my life-force. my fabulous clothes. how goddamn short I am at 5 ft. 2 in.

Oh man.

Books: Dude, I have 3 bookcases of books. I also pretty into comic books/graphic novels/whatever you want to call them. But we're talking Fantagraphics or Top Shelf type stuff, not superheros. All time fave: Box Office Poison by Alex Robinson

Anyway, here's a few of my top books right now:

Free Food For Milionaires - Min Jun Lee
Absudistan - Gary Shteyngart
Unaccustomed Earth - Jhumpa Lahiri
No One Belongs Here More Than You - Miranda July

Authors I like a great deal: Jonathan Lethem, Michael Chabon, T. S. Eliot, Zadie Smith, Ovid, Aldous Huxley, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Also, all immigrant + first-generation fiction all the time. See: all current faves minus Miranda July, and, Gunga Din Highway, Native Speaker, Drown, The Buddah Book, and much, much more.

Oh and I've loved The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz ever since I read the short story the novel is based on in the New Yorker when I was 16.

But also: Truck Turner, Hairspray, Putney Swope, Rushmore, Shaft, George Washington, Palindromes, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Pedro Almodóvar films, projects Mike White is involved in, Fireworks, Sonatine, Battle Royale, Kikujiro, Broken Flowers, La Mala educación, Todo sobre mi madre, John Waters films, 8 1/2, Un Chien Andalou, Eat the Document, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Harold and Maude, Year of the Dog, I Shot Andy Warhol, Iron Ladies, DiG!, Groove, Dog Day Afternoon, Mysterious Skin, and so forth...

Music: I have a deep, un-ironic love of hip-hop. Also, I like soul + old blues. I listen to LPs. For daily ipod listening I listen to lots of dance-y shizz: Girl Talk, CSS, New Young Pony Club, The Ting Tings, Fujiya & Miyagi, The Presets, Montage, Justice, Santogold, Goldfrapp, Cut Copy, LCD Soundsystem, etc. Band-wise I like: The Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Built to Spill, MGMT, The Gossip. Singletons: Otis Redding, Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Leonard Cohen. Uh yeah. There's more.

Food: KIMCHI, all the cheeses of the rainbow, grapes, ceviche, sushi, tortas, things that are spicy spicy spicy, Di Fara's pizza.

books, old timey ads, spraypaint, friends + a good night out, microbrews, my cats - at least until they die.

Old timey ads - seriously, I have spent entire work days looking at vintage ads on the internet. I believe you can chart the progression of a culture by its advertising.

See also: blogs. solving the world's problems via dancing. the constant pursuit of a good time. etc.

having drinks in my own hood or elsewhere in Bklyn, doing something with people, or maybe collapsing in bed after a long work week.

Sometimes when I look at my cats I picture them as LOLcats.

Not good enough? Uh...I've never met a graphic designer I didn't think was hot.

You have a good idea.

You want to talk indie comics.

You think you might be my hard-partying ghetto nerd equivalent, or at least care to know what I might mean by that.
