That Guy

About Me

like to bike ride, read, drink Jack and vodka, hang out with friends and brew beer. I am an easy-going guy, and I like to have fun.

Thought for the moment:
What the hell is grimace ?

My Interests

beatin ass, talkin shit, real estate speculation

I'd like to meet:

Your local Weatherman.

I'm looking for intelligent people. I am bored from the mundane conversations around the weather and local sports scores. Does anyone talk politics? Does anyone read philosophy? Does anyone want to talk about how American Democracy has (d)evolved? Anyone want to drink whiskey and throw theories back and forth about God?

The person I want to hang out with can hold an interesting conversation and has a mind of her own.
