The living ones. Those in the NOW. The formerly ignorant now seeking connection. Men with a future and women with a past. If your going to be an asshole be a full time asshole if you're going to be a bro, be a full time bro. Don't change depending on your surroundings, other friends in the immediate vicinity, your relationship or your career goals. And know this...Love can never be taken, you can only give it. So, in the words of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Give it away, give it away, give it away now!" When it comes to women all I want is a hooker with a heart of gold, a phd and a sense of humor that looks like my mother did when she was 21, (I know that's open for some Freudian analysis, but let's be honest folks, every guy is looking for their mother, every girl for her father, it's psychology 101, this explains why there are an overwhelming number of fucked up relationships going on, (absent fathers, smothering mothers anyone?) but, I digress. I take all comers, free thinkers and people living outside of the box. And if you want to be my spaceter, don't just send an invite, I'm not havin it. Send me a message, any message. C'mon people, a little effort...I'll leave you with this... "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi
