I am occasionally thrown to fits of alternating perversity and profundity characterized by fetishistic obsessive reading and distinct lack of personal hygiene. I love my wife more than granola and I loooooovvveee granola. I'm amazing! I speak a few languages, Hebrew, and Spanish (at least I'm starting to) and I can play some awful perty gewitar when I set my mind to it. I love reading when I have the time, but between wife, full time work, full time school, and just recently: baby (Yes, my sperm is potent!!! the little Finkelsteins can SWIM!) I've been just a little busy of late. I love travelling and spent about three and half years abroad in various places, none of which are European or white (my pet peeves) I have a knack for pissing of famous and important people and I'm really into Yoga and Veganism and if that isn't airy fairy enough for ya, I also spend two hours a week entertaining introspective narcissistic free for alls in therapy where I pay people to listen to me whine about how bad my parents are and what a shmuck I feel like every time I open my mouth (luckily, my therapist isn't famous) I love people and I love the messiness of human interaction.

I'd like to meet a vegan, who having continuously been forced to wear leather in a demeaning and lifelong captivity, can finally express his compassion for wearing animals since his gag has been removed.
