About me: I still live in Ogden. Currently attending SUNY Brockport and reading way too much. Married to Jillian and we have a three year old son, Joe.
Babies grow into things that move all day long without pause. So sleepy. Academic work is hard to find. "At least you are getting interviews." they tell me. My dissertation's shelf life races to its death. The dissertation wasnt painful enough, I am going to write a book now. I have at least three jobs that I can count. None pays in actual money. Either way, life is good.
