How do you contribute to Cozy?
I've been writing articles that have been geared toward the modern urban male but I'm going to try to branch out and do things that aren't so gender/mentality specific.

Who inspires you to create?
Lot's of things really, but mostly the people around me and the friends I keep close. Whether I'm making like, cinematic electronic metal with Branden or a video with Marrow or even picking out new stuff to wear with Mike or Emily, I tend to work best when other people more talented than me are working with me. I think Cozy is full of great people so it's cool to be able to see what they're doing and bounce something back, even though my current medium is kind of a new one for me.

If we were to produce a major motion picture based on your life who would play you? Who would direct it? and what would be on the soundtrack?
Easy, I've been thinking about this question for years. Kel from Keenan and Kel, Wes Anderson and some sort of collaboration between Thom Yorke and Koji Kondo (the guy behind the super mario brothers and legend of zelda video game scores).

Also, and I know you didn't ask for this, but here's a list of people that would play the people in my life for said movie.

Matt Vangasbeck - Taylor Hanson
Chris Marrow - Lupe Fiasco but he won't be allowed to talk. We'll get Morgan Freeman to do voice over.
Terry Mycka - Mos Def.
Mike Talley - Ellen Degeneres Jake Rabadi - Himself because... I mean come on. Who else could possibly match his awesomeness. Bon Jovi, maybe but thats a stretch.
Jeff Scott - The Brocolii from veggie tales. Lucasfilm or Pixar would handle the CGI.
Muna Javaid - Anil Kapoor (even though I'm pretty sure she's Indian and not from Pakistan... potentially politically awkward)
Soheb Javaid - I bet you thought I was going to say the dude that played Kumar. Well, I am. Sorry.
John McBride - Also the dude that played Kumar. Again, sorry, I'm not very good at this.
Emily Bloxam - Zack Hanson.

If Rachel Ray or your mother could cook for you daily, who would you choose?
Are you kidding. Are you kidding. That's like asking if you could watch someone play basketball all day would you rather watch Michael Jordan or Karl Rove. That's like asking would you rather drive a Volvo S40 or a fucking Huffy. That's like asking - fuck, seriously... this question is so ridiculous - that's like asking would you rather have Rachel Ray or your mother cook for you every day. Seriously - it's so insane that I would even think of eating anyone else's cooking other that of Mama Grimes' that this question has imploded in on itself and has now caused some sort of paradox and/or flux in the fucking space time continuum. Rachel Ray. Why would I, or anyone else, want to eat the food of someone that is constantly trying to LOOSE weight?

Pick one artist (any medium) you would like to collaborate with?
Barack Obama.

Create an acronym with the letters in your name that will expose to the Cozy audience one deep dark secret.
G - grimey
R - ryanish
I - insults
M - with (imagine the m is upside down)
E - expert
S - stealth

Greater Than ( > ) Less Than ( < )

Name Droppers < Internet Celebrities but mostly because Claire Marshall is technically an internet celebrity.

Parking in Chinatown < Parking in Georgetown. Unless you're going to the Hosiery, Chinatown is just luck where as there's a strategy you can use in Georgetown.

All 4 One > 5ive

Dominos < Papa Johns

Zack < AC (one time i saw AC in Dupont wearing a wife beater and a blazer looking very miami vice and it was awesome)

Pop Tart > Toaster Strudel

Phillies < Dutch Masters (DOUBLE DUTCH MASTERS)

John Thornley > Paul Thornley - though i admit i get them mixed up. like a lot. which one has the beard again? well, that's who i want to win this because the other one didn't hug me when i came back to DC and i like went to hug him cause i was excited to see him and it was certainly not reciprocated. so. be sure to hug people whenever you get the chance because you never know when you'll be pitted against your brother in a greater than/less than face of in the bio of an internet blogger thats been asked to choose between you.

D3 > Ninja Turtles 3. This Should have been D3 vs. 3 Ninjas kick back.

Do you get frustrated with multiple part questions?
Only if i haven' t studied. So, yes.

If you could steal anything from the National History Museum what would it be?
Easy. The code to the security system so I could come back any time I want to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in the 3D IMAX theater. No go back and read that answer like Dwight Schrute would.

Where's the beef?
Certainly not at Keith's house.

Who is the hottest politician in DC?
Nancy Pelosi
