I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Rhythm-skinned hedonist humanitarian. Curious. I don't subscribe to the categories, like the game of clue, ask a lot of questions, pass the baton with answers of my own.

My Interests

My family, music, mischief, reading/literacy, dancing to anything anytime, food snobbery, dark comedies, sushi, foosball, pinball, scatting sultry-like in my car, writing, walking, breaking the barrier in the name of sounder times, debating, swimming, vino, various culture infusions, the states of society's mind and your take on the whole bit.

I'd like to meet:

The semi-sweet, non-judgemental, come-as-you-are types. You make sense to me. You with your eyes opened wide & hot progressive minds - pop a little vino of the red. Sit back. Relax. Slip. Slide. Sip & take a dive...
