| Introduction | I am a journalist/writer/commentator who's work has appeared on Spitkicker.com, BaebleMusic.com and Boheme Verite. I'm a freelance sports reporter for the New York Amsterdam News and I write music reviews for Baeble Music. I have covered the NIT, Jimmy V. Classic, MLB Playoffs, New York City Marathon and have interviewed David Beckham. In my spare time, I read mostly non-ficiton books about music, politics and social issues, but count the The Counte of Monte Cristo and The Fountainhead among my favorite works. I am a genuine music fan who isn't restrained by boundaries, doesn't stick to only music that was released when I was a teenager and doesn't have a set definition of what constitutes a good song.

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?
I never go swimming because I can't swim. I have a fear of drowning and dying naked. Both of these things could happen in this dream.
