1. i like ten-point platforms. 2. i think if i saw a replica of myself i would say, "who does this fucking herb think he is?". 3. i suck at spelling but love words. 4. i am always getting lost, even with a navigation system. 5. i believe in the potential of humanity but am daunted by the damning efficacy of greed, hatred and low self-esteem. 6. have a decent jump shot. 7. have phased out audio-cassettes, it was hard and sad, but necessary.

Trying to figure it all out and having a good time doing it here in New Haven. I'm a 25 year old guy doing Neuroscience research to pay the bills, spending the rest of the time trying to find what i should be doing with my life. Every day I learn more but know less, if that makes any sense. Am easily distracted by sports and exercise, cooking/eating good food, reading, and socializing. I really enjoy meeting new people and going out for the occasional drink or 2.

I'm mad to live. And this is the only time I'll quote Kerouac. ("That's not writing, that's typing," said Truman Capote).

I'm currently in graduate school, studying baby catching (i.e. nurse-midwifery). I recently caught my first babies :) And it was absolutely amazing. One of my favorite things during the summer is outdoor happy hours. Whether it's pitchers of cheap beer, fancy martinis, or margaritas on my deck, I'm sure to be there. Along those lines, I hate being cold, and I miss the summer. I love what I'm studying, but I can honestly admit, I still don't like school.
