About the blogger

Name: Adrian Jones

Age: mid-20s

Sex: Yes

Location: Although originally from Indiana, I'm living in central Harlem in New York City, where I attend Columbia Business School and study how to make deals with "the Man" for our mutual benefit.

Things you might not know: I was 15 minutes late to a job interview in 2000. The company hired me nonetheless and I will be working for them until at least 2008.

I feel like a sardine when I'm on a plane, but I have traveled to 60 countries in the past 5 years, including a trip around the world. In 2005, I made it about 50,000 miles, the equivalent of just less than twice around the world.

I have the exact same college degree as Donald Trump Sr and Donald Trump Jr (Wharton School, real estate concentration). I was rejected both times I tried out for the Apprentice, but I was quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times.

I was a victim of identity theft in 2001; the crook got nailed for 21 felonies and misdemeanors and I got "quote of the day" in the college newspaper.

A CEO who made $63 million last year told me that I "had no vision," which has nothing to do with my thick glasses. I'm getting lasik as soon as I get out of school and back on the company's insurance.

Politics: Socially moderate + economically conservative = libertarian. However, I did vote for one of the crazy reverends that ran against Daley in Chicago's non-partisan municipal elections.

Wine: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Chateau St Jean Vigoner, Lanson Champagne, Boone's Farm Strawberry (Tara convinced me of its benefits)

Hair: I have it done at the SHO-'NUFF Unisex Salon over on Malcolm X Drive in Harlem, where I sometimes see Donald Trump

Be my friend: Friendster - Facebook - LinkedIn - MySpace

Famous people I've met or bumped into: Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, the mother of rapper Common, Bob & Liddy Dole, R. Kelly, Kennedy, G. Gordon Liddy, Jack Welch and Reg Jones, the Prince of Belgium, lots of others who I didn't recognize. Oh yeah, I used to live in the same building as Jerry Springer; now I find myself living next to the personal attorney of Al Sharpton. Why do I always live by the nutcases?

Who has more girlfriends - me or grandpa?: Let's put it this way: grandpa may be 84 but he's quite the playa

Drugs taken illegally in the last 6 months: Ciproflaxin

Secret first date place: Experience suggests that taking her to a 3-hour supply chain management class does the trick
