Your Underground- Sound Representative, We keep True Arts Alive!

About Me

I'am a Wilsonian idealist in a world full of chaos and destruction. One would think that us humans would change for the better in the 21st century. Afterall, we have gone through two world wars and various conflicts during the Cold War all across the globe. Now we reside in a world of mass communal killings, global terrorism and now a new arms race between the former Soviet Union, Iran and the Peoples' Republic of China. I don't know what the future may hold, but I still believe that with the grace of God, humankind can do our best to promote peace and prosperity. The price for peace is eternal vigilance, that's why when I walk down those cold steps of the concrete jungle, my eyes are alert, fearing no evil for the site of a bodybag being strolled into the coroner's van does not affect me anymore. Game face, as if an icicle pierced my lonely heart, I keep treading as my eyebrows protrude downward and my hand steady, ready for action. Is there hope living in fear? World War 1 encouraged President Wilson to make proposals to benefit Europe, fearing that another more brutal war would be on the horizon. Hence, the rise of fascism and imperialism in World War 2.

My Interests

Gotta love those Brits for keepin' it real! My all time favorite live bands The Brand New Heavies "Never Stop"

I'd like to meet:

Someone who will be there for me even when times get hard. A lady that enjoys taking long walks or enjoys the outdoors. I would be blessed if I could meet a well rounded woman that is sincere , understanding and enjoys history/art museums.
