Who am I?
I’m a struggling NYC-based writer that hopes one day to be a non-struggling NYC-based writer.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
I was born 37 years ago in a hospital in New York City.
Here was the plan:
1973 – Get born (check)
1987 – Get into prestigious high school (check)
1990 – Get into Ivy League (check)
1996 – Get into First Tier Law School (check)
1999 – Join white shoe law firm (check)(I started to get off schedule when I left the firm after two months)
2000 – Marry high school girlfriend (thankfully, no)
2002 – Get rich young (not so much)
2004 – Have first child (nope – not that I know of)
2007 – Make partner (have to be in a firm for that)
2008 – Have third child (mathematically impossible)2073 – Die a happy old man on some sunny beach (on schedule!)
Life never does work out the way you expect it to, does it? Right before the turn of the century, some things happened to make me re-adjust my plan.
Then again after. And again. Life keeps throwing me those curveballs.
But it’s ok, there’s a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will. (V.II.)
I’m old enough to know that, after everything that gets me off my schedule, there’s a “thank god I didn’t…” moment when I realize that I’m on a better one. Somehow, this blog became a summary of my, admittedly strange, dating life. But it’s really just a story about a life, I guess.
So, here’s to rough-hewing it then.
(Also, here are another seven if you’re really bored)
Hey…cool site. We kind of have stuff on our sites like yours. Well, yours is more appropriate for our blog: http://isHotr.tumblr.com
It's more about things that we think are cool. Maybe we can share some pictures or links with each other. Or if you don't mind, maybe we can take some pics off your blog and reblog them? thanks.

Trying to subscribe! Can't find the link!
Sorry, I just saw this comment now; you can subscribe by hitting the RSS feed icon on any of the entries or on the upper right hand corner of this page (it's the thing that looks like soundwaves coming out of a speaker).
i think you're one cool dude! keep it up! never give up on what you hope for.
Shoot, I didn't even realize you wrote this. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
You can tick "Get rich young" if you allow grateful readers to give you a dollar for every hour you save us from the stupidities of the iTunes hollow stars…
Ha – brilliant idea but I'm not sure how to do that. Let me know?
Its quite easy. Here is an example of someone, like you, who gave me help with iTunes.

You will find, half way down the left hand edge, these magic words…
Did my program help you? Please consider a donation through Paypal!
Then there is a little Paypall Donate box.
I gave him (her?) US$5 as a thank you present. I would have done the same for you. Believe it or not, although many web users expect everything for nothing, there are still plenty of us who are happy to say "thank you" is a financial way.
Note: Just to remove any suspicion, I have nothing to do with Teridon nor Paypall…
Hi – thanks! Actually, while the link looks cut off, it is actually clickable. I'd def check that out and I appreciate all the help!
Actually, in lieu of a donation, I could always use another positive review for the book I wrote – it's a bit violent but it's crime fiction if that's your thing. And it's only $0.99 now! http://tinyurl.com/7p94f64
Sadly I am not a Kindle person. I sincerely hope my suggestion is worth considerably more than $0.99 …!
