Daniel Allen T.

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Living on the edge, eating sprouts every day. Enjoying it while it lasts.

My Interests

Music, vegetarian cooking, skateboarding, and facilitating good times in general amongst all stripes.

I'd like to meet:

People who like being the designated driver. Someone who will take me to the river. Non-bots. Kung-fu masters. Anyway, if you add me and nothing about your profile annoys me, I'll accept you, but if you subsequently post a dozen frivolous bulletins one after another, I'll drop you. But don't take it personally; I'm just more into "this is happening here" or "that is happening there" types of bulletins than "what cd are you listening to now" types. That said, I think the occasional trivial post is OK, and the more I like you, the more you can get away with it. Oh and spam in my comments=death by dismemberment, or deletion, my choice. Oh oh yeah yah...if you are a band, don't add me unless you personally know me. Otherwise I will find you if we need to be friends.
