Sports (basketball and baseball, mostly), reading, writing, traveling, blah, blah, blah
People who hate abbreviations (and those who use them) as much as I do. People who DON'T use their headshots or sluttiest, most revealing pictures as their displays in an entirely public forum (i.e., MySpace). People who DON'T smoke. An 18-year-old Darryl Strawberry so I can try to warn him. And if you recognize where my "Headline" quote is from without having to do any investigating, that's kinda cool, too.I guess I missed the boat on Chris Farley and Kurt Cobain, though now that I think about it, I don't think I'd have much in common with either one of them. Although, with regard to Farley, I was a really fat kid. And in terms of Cobain, I did wear a lot of flannel in high school, so that's SOMETHING. I now have to add Steve Irwin to the list. I loved that guy.As a good friend once told me, "hem ha'chayim!" What can ya do?
