Author has written 7 stories for Love, and Life.

"It isn't about being or not being dead, it's about what you leave behind."-- Martin McDonagh, The Pillowman

BIO: My name is Noah. I'm a 20-year-old Film Studies/Production major at Hofstra University. I spent the last few years with dreams of becoming a filmmaker but my cynicism about the system has built up and now I primarily want to be a writer. I still adore the art of the cinema though. I was a regular fixture on this site during my "Nobody Understands Me" phase in high school, banging out poem after poem in which I whined and bitched about my lack of a love life, but I think I've moved on quite a bit. I didn't want to come back here unless I was truly satisfied with my work, so I am, so I'm here again. I hope you enjoy my work.

INFLUENCES: Woody Allen, Paul Thomas Anderson, John Cleese, Joel & Ethan Coen, Larry David, William Faulkner, William Goldman, Jim Jarmusch, Graham Linehan, Armando Iannucci, Cormac McCarthy, Martin McDonagh, Eugene O'Neill, George Orwell, Harold Pinter, Bruce Robinson, J.D. Salinger, Hunter S. Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut.

NEWS: A new poem about my thoughts on New Year's. Nothing is new; the usual disappointments persist regardless of what year we're in. I put it under the Angst category which I really resent because it pidgeonholes it into whiny emo crap but I guess it's the most appropriate category regardless. C'est la view.

RIP Harold Pinter. (12/31/08)
