International Hound Dog

Kicking ass and taking names since 1983.

About Me

I'm 22 years old. Even though I hate talking about politics I consider myself "liberal" as I am educated. Animals kick ass (I have a Dachshund, Siberian Husky, and a Chocolate Lab). Im ambitious. I'm half way through my 4th year in college majoring in Economics and Finance. Most people say "I'm sorry" or "Eww" but hey you aren't the one studying it so fuck off :) As I respect your interests and hobbies even though I may not share them, I expect you to respect mine. I tend to take about 4-6 vacations a year (including overseas adventures). I'm a bartender at a trendy restaurant in midtown. I try not to be judgmental of people without giving them a chance first but Im not going to be a hypocrite like a lot of the people I know and say flat out that Im not. I'm cultured. I know how to party my ass off and have a good time but I also understand and appreciate the value of hard work. I'm sick of meeting girls that are lazy and whose lives revolve around the latest episode of whatever the newest reality show is on MTV (I wouldn't know). I like to read. Margarita's rock my world. My car looks fast but in reality is horrendously slow--it's all about the gas mileage baby. I love to learn new things. I wish I could fly for a day. And lastly, above all else, I wish people would start to use their brains every once and a while to formulate their own opinions and attitudes about things instead of blindly following the masses. Remember, its okay to be different.
Still want to talk to me? You know what to do.
