Lonely and Dreaming of the East Coast...

About Me

I am fun-loving, witty, smart, generous, a big kid, part-time chef, jack-of-few-trades-master of less, big sports fan, poker enthusiast, bitter Pacific NW resident, lost somewhere on the West Coast...

My Interests

Poker, Sports (Jets, Mets, Rangers, Nets, Manchester United), humor, reading, TV, movies, coffee, technology, video games, driving, WWII, complete roto-geekery, low-end environmentalism, slow and steady self-desturction, hooded sweatshirts, lounge pants, and the great indoors...

I'd like to meet:

up with my actual friends in a place that doesn't suck, and have a beer or twelve...

Whatever, it all sounds fantastic... That network can take a dump on a plate, put a camera on it, and I'll watch it...
