I enjoy political intrigue.
I enjoy scandal.

I'd like to meet:

The man flees the snake, the snake flees the man, and the road remains empty: Thus does enmity waste opportunity" -- African proverb.Who do I want to meet? Everyone. Who do I not want to meet? No one. I will not leave any road empty.

I've met some very good friends so far in San Diego, but I would love to meet more. Gay boys, where the hell are you?
