About Me:
A friend once said that if my orientation toward life were a film genre, it would be the documentary. I think this is fairly accurate.
Not that I secretly want to be making documentaries--in fact, I feel no need to. Everyday life pretty much suffices.

Spanish class. We liked both liked
novelty. And answering where the
teacher could put his other finger. I
really got to know him on a field trip
when we discussed the intricacies of
GI Joes traveling in time. One of the
funniest people I know. The Hunt Dog
or Neon Ian (Ee-on) as I like to call
him was the inspiration for the
Harvard sex magazine H-Bomb. He will
listen to me when I am talking crazy
talk. When is usually when I open my
mouth.
enjoys drinking, but I would definately
say dude does appreciate all beverages
containing the heavenly liquid we call
A-L-C-O-H-O-L. He loves all things
Nepal/Nepali. Moreover, the dude is
handsome and easy going. Rumors have it
that he was the reason behind all the
girl-fights that erupted in Kathmandu
in 2001-2002.
a man of many contradictions. He is a
generous penny pincher, He enjoys
uncomfortable situations but loves
comfortable liesure suits. He's in the
bloom of his youth but likes old-
fashiond flannel baseball uniforms.
He's a world traveller who enjoys
cubicles. And he's deceptively quick
for a man of his size. When Ian and I
were younger we used to occasionally
walk around doing nerdy things like
spray-painting inside jokes on the
neighborhood tavern, if you could
imagine that.
money and some connections, he'd be
called an impresario, and beautiful and
talented people would inhabit his
living room day and night. he'd be the
new andy warhol. as it is, ian is poor
and lives in somerville, so his living
room is frequented mostly by his
friends, whom he supplies with beer and
umami-rich foods. we call him a
Freakin' Good Guy.
smile and giggle. This is currently
being demonstrated in his photo. i'm
assuming he's wearing(properly) the
automatic leg massage machine and
giggling away.
sitting there holding a magazine he's not
reading because he's staring at people. ian
thinks he's watching That Guy, but in fact, he
is That Guy.
better mood. 1b) I laugh a lot when I am with
Ian. 1c) We share a special soul-music bond.
On a deceptively related note, one time Ian
and I got caught by The Man (a female
representative thereof) while we were on a
secret spy mission underground in the Steam
Tunnels. We barely escaped with our lives, not
to mention our cool outfits.
host with the most. i just had the
pleasure of sleeping on a sofa bed in
his living room for a couple days. He
gave me the royal treatment, no foot
rubs though which kinda dissapointed me,
although he didnt complain when i snuck
upstairs and watched him sleep. if i
could compare him to one man that we all
know i'd have to say he's most like...
d'angelo.
Huntdog. The man with the 25,000
dollar shirt. If there is one person I
want taking PK's at the end of a game,
it's Ian. No one can bend it like Ian,
there is none else! I have known this
mo fo for years. Ian is the homie, an
all around good guy and funny as hell.
Always a peacemaker, Ian has put a stop
to several arguments of mine and
stopped me from breaking the law on
several occassions. Contact this man!
He's a certified chiller. After you
meet him, you will break your life down
to two periods, pre-Ian and post-Ian.
