I am looking at myself, in a dirty mirror, and my hair is long.
My Self-Summary
I should have lived in the time of the beats. I really wish I'd run
around Greenwich in those days, having gone conversations with the
great wasted minds. I would be the guy who doesn't get too extreme,
but is along for the ride with the crazies, and documents it with
some sort of innocent perspective.
At my best, anyway.
Going to grad school for playwriting. I'll tell you more about that
later. I do a fair amount of teaching in colleges and other
schools.
I suppose i'm here throwing my penny in a wishing well and
thinking, "I'd like to have an adult relationship."
Honestly, I'm ultimately hoping to find someone who will grow into
a teammate, comic partner, lover and first-choice companion.
My type: Liz Lemon from 30 Rock.
What I’m doing with my life
Grad school, ad junct, writing plays, searching for shiny
objects.
Yoga, Running, Trying to relax through the challenges of my grad
school program.
I’m really good at
Dodging compliments.
Making Chili.
Hat juggling.
The first things people usually notice about me
I really have no honest answer for this.
