I am here for Friends

About Me

I love to complain. I consider it a hobby. I also like to play poker. I think I'm good at it, but I never seem to win. I'm what I like to call "a really good bad golfer." My middle name is Barry and I'm obsessed with recapturing my youth via eBay.

My Interests

Writing, Movies, Poker, Reality TV and Mexican Food. I also like gadgets that I don't need and will never use.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet cool like-minded people. I would not like to meet spammers and porn-bots. Nor would I like an invitation to "listen to your band" or get "free tax advice." If this was one of those job interviews where they asked who I'd like to meet living or dead I'd say for the living: Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Terry Gilliam and the guy who invented TiVo. For the dead: Vonnegut, Sinatra and Presley.
