Occupation: Natural/organic foods grocery store lackey. I dropped out of college a few years ago to be homeless. I don't plan on going back to school. I'd much rather play poker full time, start my own business, or do something else that doesn't require being someone's bitch.

Location: Berkeley, CA

Favorite (Sports Team, food, place, beach, pet, etc...anything goes here): I follow the Atlanta Falcons, Braves, and Hawks -- I don't own a TV, I just watch highlights and read box scores obsessively. My favorite food is hummus.
