| Introduction | When I'm not working, I'm at the gym. (Or sitting on my ass and looking at the internets.) I enjoy drinking the occasional high-gravity beer and attending minor-league baseball games (go, Bulls!). I also enjoy taking photos, traveling, reading, writing fiction, sketching (pencils, charcoal), traveling, gossiping about celebrities, watching movies, and criticizing acting performances. I like being sneaky. And obsessing about things. Mostly, I am interested in talking about my interests. |
