About me

Introduction "The Optimist", a blog about anything, nothing, and everything in between, has been lauded by fans and critics alike. Noted reviewer Edison Zhuo of the Tulsa Star-Ledger hailed it as "an unprecedented follow-up achievement from the same man who brought you 'Hamlet Essay, Mr. James, Period 4', pleasing with both its inexhaustible wit and undeniable charm". The blog's author has been a three-time recipient of the Stephen T. Colbert Excellence in Writing Award, a two-time winner of the National Alliance for the Bettering of the Craft of Writing Alexander P. Wellsman Commemorative Trophy, and a six-time finalist for the Gill R. Malik Prize for Handsome Journalists. The author resides in California, which is hopefully somewhat descriptive, but not enough so for you to locate his house.
