About Me:
I'm a marxist trying to come to terms with the fact that I can't really live without the food and wine of the bourgeoisie. Especially the wine.
Unlike my friend Bukola, I have not yet seen the face of God.
I am a lawyer, but there are more than a few days in the office when I wish I was a fisherman instead. Or a gardener.
-
Who I Want to Meet:
Assata Shakur, Albie Sachs, Mandela, and Fidel.
Also, non-lawyers.
Lawyers too, but only if they can sustain a conversation that doesn't involve their law firm.
And drinkers. I always like drinkers.

Joshua since we were 16. We actually had
matching cars (VW vans) and played in orchestra
in high school. Now, we take the subway and go
listen to music. He's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
And full of heart and ideas. I'm honored to know
him.
absolutely no work and still be one of
the best students i have ever met. he
introduced me to drinking and slacking
off. a friend for the ages!
