interests.
music
- i play the trumpet well, the guitar adequately, and the piano poorly.
i listen to indie rock, radio hits, and an ever increasing amount of hip-hop.
reading
- i enjoy reading the new yorker for its content on current events, its cartoons, its film reviews, and occasionally its fiction. it reminds me of my old academic days.
i must admit to also spending time reading dry, mathematical texts to augment my skill at poker. theoretical arguments and hypothetical game theory exercises fascinate me.
films
- mostly indie dramedy-types - before sunrise, rushmore, the american president, once, meeting people is easy...
about me.
surviving in my new boston home, looking for work, looking for music, hanging with the lovely miss _re...
there's more in "my works;" recital pieces, jazz duos, written addenda... check 'em out
i watch quarterlife (the show). i love it. i identify with exactly every character always (except danny and vanessa, who are assholes). how is it that they are all the same as me at all times?
through this site i found a wonderful girl named _re. she quickly became the only thing that strongly motivated me on a daily basis, so i moved 380 miles north, from delaware to boston, to be able to see her in person every day.
i am a musician who was once also a teacher and is now a little lost. i am not sure what i want my life's work to be (because i generally hate working any job), but i am getting a little closer to finding a potential "career" every day.
i spend some time playing the guitar; more playing along with songs and trying to figure out how to sing than actually writing material.
i hold a mild interest in writing. i have been fascinated by the works of aaron sorkin (most of which is about writers trying to write), tina fey, and steve martin. i hope to take a try at this one day. i should get a humanities degree first, i suppose.
i play poker as a mental exercise to keep myself sharp in the ways of strategy, observation, patience, wit, strength, and deceit. i hold a respect and a love for the game, and i express that respect and love by spending hours and money at it.
i believe that i should create.

i got a job!
Aug 20, 2008
just ten days into my nerve-wracking move to an entirely new place, i got hired somewhere!
symposium books, a little independent bookstore in kenmore square, boston, decided that i was the best candidate to run their store full time. it is owned by a husband and wife who also own a book warehouse and a similar store in providence, rhode island. the boston store has two employees, one full-time and one part-time. i am now the full-timer, which means i will be manning the store by myself 40 hours a week!
this all might work out, after all!

Again, I got way more out of this than I ever got in college.
It's hard for me to find people around me that understand songwriting enough to help me. My mom once got me a book that tells how to make money through songwriting. But that's not at all what I want to do with it. I want to express myself through music and hope that some people along the way relate to it from similar experiences.
Feel free to take a look at a few that I've posted on QL and tell me what you think, and how I could improve.
Thanks again for posting this!
I'm looking forward to it ^_^
check out episode iv
seriously though, wtf?
