The Cookout

I want to tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot.

About Me

"And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time, wondering what she don't see in me. I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines. Ain't that the way love supposed to be? "

My Interests

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne. I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape. At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."
