My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They'll get it one day. I don't believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There's a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that. Questions, concerns, and comments can be directed to James, At-Sign Gawker, Period Com.
This picture, taken exactly 11 years ago, summarizes the last 11 years pretty damn well, in retrospect.

An impossibly young me (I had to be in 8th grade when this pic was taken) watching two impossibly young girls kiss for the first time. They later admitted to be “faking it” (I’d hear that one all throughout high school and college), but the look on my face is utterly priceless. It was moments like these that made up for being called a fag for being in the drama club all those years. The cast parties always consisted of about two dozen girls with absent fathers…and me. Seemed like a no brainer.
Also, I just deleted a folder on this hard drive that I’m pretty sure had pictures of one of my high school exes in various states of undress…I didn’t check so I’m not entirely sure, but the folder was called “Roller Coaster Tycoon.” I never played Roller Coaster Tycoon, but was notorious for creating fake game folders to hide things. DELETE.
