About Me

Just a kid from T-town who lived in Michigan but now lives back in T-Town. I'm 23, I'm pretty easy-going, and I love being around people.

I think I'm a genius when I'm drunk. (I think I discovered how to do cold fusion, but I ate the equation sheet as part of a bet. I guess eating paper when you drink gives you mad headaches in the morning.)

Avid philosophy reader. Stand-up writer (I write stuff with my T-town friends). One-time ambassador to Germany, now washed-up law student.

"It's better to be king for a night than a shmuck for the rest of your life"

IM: SlyBug325

My Interests

Poker and Euchre, Music, Movies (how cliche'), Boxing, Kick Boxing, Muay Thai, soccer, softball, philosophy

I'd like to meet:

People who realize that life is just a collection of days getting haircuts, and lots of days between them

I wouldn't mind finding a cool girl to buy drinks for and maybe dinner, and who doesn't mind having a busy boy friend. who knows

Give me a reason to count the myriad ways I love you
