Los Angeles-based software developer. Fan of the New York Mets and hardcore/punk music.

Just got weirdly emotional because I was watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Guy Fieri went to a wonderful Indian restaurant in the same shopping center where I would go grocery shopping with my mom when I was 5.

The great irony of the "Choosin Texas" thing is that if the country music industrial complex was just like "we make good music that people like" they'd be unstoppable. Garth Brooks played to 1 MILLION people in Central Park in 1997.

RIP Chad Gilbert. If you want to play metalcore, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to listen to the first Shai Hulud record. If you want to play big room emo, you should be strapped to a chair and forced to listen to the first two New Found Glory records.

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights is the ultimate twisty experience for the current generation. Without Ozzfest there is no other place for like-minded Fear Factory fans to touch each other in public.

I lived in NYC for many years so I'm familiar with the concept of the "city target" (messy, poor inventory, basically a glorified CVS) but the Target nearest to me in West LA is a whole different animal in terms of being a retail black hole.

I very rarely remember my dreams but last night's stuck with me. It included: - running into Noah Syndergaard on the street - attending a party where I accidentally let a horse loose - asking a woman where she got her purse and being angrily told "my mom died last week and she gave it to me"
