About Me

I believe that there are babies born with a smile, frown or vacant expression. Theses babies grow up to be adults who continue with said facial expressions. I was a frowning baby. My frown doesn't make an angry person (my opinion- not that of co-workers, siblings and ex- girlfriends), just not someone who is going hug or high five you.And I seem to find myself meeting the always enlightening and intoxicating smiling and vacant minded types. People say I have a dry wit and a teasing sense of humor. No,wait, that's what I say, they say I have a dark sarcastic side.I sometimes come across cold and distant but that's because I really don't like most people. They annoy me and it takes a lot to get my attention and make me realize they just weren't that interesting. My best friend, Jackie would say I'm hilarious, but she drinks and yells at the televsion. I'm very easy going but, can get the occasional bug up my ass. It's never personal. I guess in a weird way I'm kinda like a cat, meaning I like to hiss and scurry under things.I like my alone time but enjoy time with good people who are worth it.

My Interests

I don't like beets.The only food I won't eat. Things I DO like:feeling superior, a cold gin & tonic, reading the paper,a good book, rolling my eyes, tunafish, Patton Oswalt, lots of laughs,games (board,verbal or mind), the dog, going to movies & observations and commentary of pedestrians that meander in and out of my life on a daily basis.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus ... so that sets the bar kinda high for the rest of you. Other than him, let's see.If you think by reading this that I'm a prick, then lets not waste our time. Honestly, it's all a big smoke screen. I'm the every day moron you love. You Know that one talking during the movie,or alwys using the cellphone, or the one that starts huffing and puffing when the line ANY where is too long and decides to give the guy behind the counter a hard time( the guy behind the counter with NO authority to open another line!)YEAH that's me. No, I'm the one looking for a sock full of nickels to start swinging in that moment. Look, You don't have to be erudite or smart,but at the same time, I'm not really up for going out and playing mailbox baseball. Well, maybe.
