About Me

Things I know, and things i think i know:
I've got a pretty cool dog, and a cool, pretty girl.
I love italian and greek food, both eating it and making it (or rather, cooking in general). I'd prefer to spend my time playing polo, boxing, or playing beach volleyball. I love jazz, mellow-hop and classic rock. I'd like to say I'm pretty nonchalant, relaxed and laid back overall, but that wouldn't be very true; in reality I'm pretty fiery. I like things in triplicates and things in order.
I have a tendency to: attempt to be philosophical, correct other's grammar, and be long-winded.
