Welcome to my blog! 2012 is officially The Year of Love, deemed as such by my dear friend Andreas on New Year’s Eve. He actually consecrated 2011 as the Year of Love back on 12/31/10 over pints of Six Point Sweet Action at The Brooklyn Inn. But 2011 was filled with its share of complications, so we’re going with 2012 as THE ACTUAL YEAR OF LOVE. So there’s hope for us all yet!
