I was raised Jewish, became an athiest. I've been a bolshevic, an anarchist, a Teamster, a garage door installer, and a sushi chef. I joined Mensa and the IWW. I taught myself Syriac and a fair bit of Yucatec. I've trained and worked as a Sommelier. I've been a victim of the patriot act, a discordian pope, and once founded a religion out of boredom (The International Church of Keith Richards. In all fairness it was more of an elaborate tax evasion scheme that involved binge drinking and cheeseburgers. You kind of had to be there.)

 Now, I'm mostly just exhausted.
