Hi, this is the notebook of David Press.  He was born in New York City, and lived in New Jersey until he was eleven when his family moved to Connecticut. They lived there until 2002, when they decided to move to the family summer house in Lake Placid, NY. At that point David had just finished his junior year at St. Bonaventure University, where he was majoring in Journalism. That summer he jumped ship and went off to England, where there was much debauchery.

Following graduation in May 2003, David spent a year in a Void-like state that he barely remembers but believes was in the general vicinity of Lake Placid. He eventually got his act together and moved to New York City where he worked as a graveyard shift copy editor while later contributing to comic book news websites like  MTV’s Splash Page and Comic Book Resources.com. He’s had a blog of some form since he moved to the city in places like Blogger, LiveJournal (egad!), WordPress, but he finally settled on Tumblr in early 2008.

While he was working on his Masters in English at Brooklyn College, he interned at Marvel Comics during the Spring 2010 semester, fulfilling (part) of a lifelong dream.

Formerly living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, he spent the summer of 2010 at home where he worked on the film Dancehall and wrote quite a bit.

He now lives in Queens after a pretty interesting seven months in Brooklyn, and works for The Wolfe Institute for the Humanities while teaching English. He’s leaving New York City in June to move home and begin a new adventure.
