Hey there sports fans. I didn’t forget about the few readers out there – I’ve just been busy developing the written word in other venues. Some exciting news for this amateur, slowly turning professional, writer. I’ve been published thrice! I landed a gig writing as the “Greenmarket Picks of the Week” for nonabrooklyn. I go […]

G.O. New York City

G.O. NYC  (Get Outdoors NYC) You sell your car and move to a big city, and after a few months, you end up feeling a little bit… trapped?

Obesity affects upwards of 40% of the American population. Almost 70% of us are  considered to be overweight. 70%!

Last night I worked as a snake handler. I used a broadsword to prod and lift a viper up into the air to show to paying customers the girth and color of its body. The snake and I worked in unison, if I thought something, it would respond. If it felt discomfort or lack of […]

Slowly, slowly footfall

It was a comedic sight. Harold walked with his backpack half open, sleeping bag rigged with rope and spare straps dangling against the backs of his knees, wearing black jeans, a black sweatshirt in the eighty degree day. Malcolm’s bag of Oreo’s protruded over the top of his back zipper, the baggy of sunscreen, hand […]

Live, Poetry, Live

As a twenty nine year old writer who is interested in participating in the world, the cultures about which I care, I have re-engaged with some old habits and am seeking out new ones. For example, I found a pick up soccer league, which is an old habit.  I recently committed to trying vegetarianism because […]
