About me

Gender Male
Location Brooklyn, NY, United States
Introduction I'm tall, gay, and in my very late 30's. I have a tendency to be critical. I'll critique anything. My friends often say I'm "too hard" on just about everything (for instance, I'll spend an hour speaking of my dislike of a dumb little action movie, or begin a discussion on the overall state of fast food french fries). I'm not about to lower my standards because we've collectively lowered our societal expectations. Neither should you. You can trust that anytime you see me compliment something on here, I mean it. There won't be too much rhyme, reason or theme to this blog. You'll find everything from book reviews, product recommendations, my random musings on etiquette both good and bad, and things that make me smile, and things that just pee me off. I hope you enjoy my blog, and PLEASE let me know if/when you agree or disagree. We're Americans for crying out loud. It's what we do. And it's okay.
