Occasional writer. Always a reader. Sometime musician and voice actor, more often sound engineer. Cement-punk overtones with a philosophical subtext, served amidst the aroma of the world's end. He/Him/His.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
