ABOUT ME

I am a New Orleanian, born and raised, though i don't know whether or not that is a good thing. Mostly i think it simply contributes to my tendency to drink and join groups of wandering crowds, especially if they're dressed up.

I'm a bartender by trade, so i'm pretty sure i'm in the right city.

I like bike rides in the Fall.

I have a particularly pervasive, perhaps perverse, penchant for puns. Also, i always allot a lot of love for alliterative acuity.

I spend a lot of time drinking coffee, doing crossword puzzles, and trying to decide whether to read a book or play a video game. Lately, the games have been winning, though i'm secretly pulling for literature.

I write (terribly) and i play the guitar (terribly). i really enjoy eating.

PHILOSOPHY

"...I made some interesting friends, had enough money to get around, and learned a lot about the world that i never could have learned in any other way.
Like most of the others, i was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hellraiser. I was never idle enough to do much thinking, but i felt somehow that my instincts were right. I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top.
At the same time, i shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand a a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going."
