About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find am affordable place to live in New York

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a big breakfast. I watched Lisa Simpson play the saxophone when I was a kid and decided to start myself, that was about 14 years ago. I occasionally get paid to assemble words into sentences. I enjoy catching food in my mouth.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy all things in life in moderation (moderately)
