What Ruled My 2007
Monday, December 31st, 2007Portland
This is the coolest place to live. There will always be a special place in my heart for NJ/NYC, but PDX is home. The big town I remember from my childhood is now a bona fide City, and even though some of the changes are weird to me, I’m trying not to fight them…
“Coming Out”
One of the [...]
Pictures Galore and More
Friday, December 28th, 2007I just posted the best shots from my most recent photo shoot on my Gallery Page for your viewing pleasure…I was going to wait until they were airbrushed and all prettied up for the web, but you know what? Fuck that. This is who I am. This is what I look like. I’m not perfect. AND I [...]

First off, thanks to my wonderful dining companions. It was really cool to meet SauceSupreme, karmalaundry, and stu. I immediately recognized Stu from the old LaLuna days, and it turns out karmalaundry and I graduated a year apart from rival private schools. What a small world. Now on to the main [...]
