About Me

This is me:If you ask my friends, they'll say I'm one of the nicest people they know, that I smile all the time, act 8.7 years older than I am (usually), and that I know half the people in the state. (It's actually only 25% of them.)If you ask me, I'll admit to all of the above, and add that I truly do love people and spending time with them, I tend to be in diners a lot, I own a cat (but only because he acts like a dog), I own a house (it doesn't act like a dog), I have a faithful love for Hondas in spite of their unoriginality, I'm obsessed with listening to music and convinced that it must be heard on a quality system (loyal Alpine fan, at least for headunits and speakers), I truly love the business world, I'm fascinated with human behavior and personality types, and I possess the entire script to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Single once again

For Brett's sake I didn't want to post anything prematurely, but following his lead:It's hard being single on New Year's Eve...especially when that singleness is a scant 72 hours old. It was won...
