Let’s dispense with the pleasantries, shall we?
I’m a recent graduate from Roanoke College in Virginia, but I was born and raised in Connecticut. I’m in the process of figuring out how to pay for a graduate program I applied for because, like the United States, I believe the only way to get rid of existing debt is to accrue more debt. Hey, if it’s good enough for the USA, it’s good enough for me.
HEY! I’m also a writer for Examiner.com, which, if you haven’t checked it out, is a pretty cool site. I write articles and recipe as a Beer Pairing expert, so all I have to do is cook a meal, drink a beer, and write about it. It’s a pretty sweet gig.
I hate giving people labels, but when you make up labels for yourself, it becomes a bit of a hobby. I consider myself a Broet and a Hopster. I shall define these terms below.
Broet (N.): Poet who does not conform to modern definition of ‘poet’ in that he or she does not write poetry like a 15-year-old angsty goth looking for attention. Original Broets include Charles Bukowski and Allen Ginsberg, among others.
Hopster (N.): Beer enthusiast who drinks local and underground craft brews; is often seen at local brewpub saying things like, “oh, you’ve probably never tried it.”
So there you have it.
Now, more about Too Late, Trotsky. This is kind of a digital notebook. I’m not too cheap to buy a real notebook; I have about seventeen of them. Therein lies the problem. My thoughts are scattered everywhere, which means that what generally happens is that I’ll end up with pockets full of loose-leaf paper with a bunch of random things scrawled all over them in pen. If I don’t have paper, my hands will be covered in ink by the end of the day. This is kind of a way to keep it all together.
I, in no way, consider anything that I write myself to be exceptionally profound or important, but sometimes I’ll post quotes that I think everyone should read and go “well how do you like that?” So you’ll see a lot of that, I think.
Well, that’s it. If you’ve been here before, then you like what you see. If this is your first time, then see what you like.
