I'm a hardworking dude with a heart of fool's gold. I love my dog. At a time in life when most young folks move to big cities, I moved out of one to live in Tennessee. I'm glad to be back in California and I think I'll stay put for a while.

-I help care for the sick, injured, drunk, and deranged in a local ER. It's hard work but I love it and I meet all kinds of amazing and twisted people.
-Learning more about medicine.
-Messing around every chance I get.

Setting up camp, cleaning my plate, finding time for afternoon naps, shit-talking in spanish, losing the lottery, walking on the sunny side of the street, making sandwiches with the seemingly disparate things in the fridge, and quitting smoking.

Dark roast, blue jeans, my mutt, the sea, the pines. I'd also be pretty fucked without Trader Joe's.

All kinds of bullshit but mostly what i'm going to eat next, which beer to get, political economy, how i really hope the USPS doesn't go away, sailboats, the South, and stuff like this:

Could be i'm working, or having a beer, or out of town.

My workplace nickname is "cabana boy".

You like getting outside, you're more Buzzcocks than Beatles, you've gotten arrested before, you own a sailboat, you have lots of patience, you want to ride bikes and drink tall cans and then go to a nice dinner.
