About Me

. . .

I prefer wood instead of metal... leather instead of plastic...
silver instead of gold...
I firmly believe that Dean Martin is slightly cooler than Frank Sinatra...
I will never understand menthol cigarettes, sushi, or organized religion....
I believe polaroids were a superior art form...
I burn the candle at both ends... I indulge whims... I can inspire
multiple occasions of profane transcendence...
I tend to lose sunglasses...
I find this all to be silly, harmless fun...
. . .

My Interests

I'm looking for others with an inner child intact. Others with an inner demon intact...
Others who talk with their eyes and always get the joke...
Temptresses, flirts, philosophers, and artists. Just be whipsmart and wickedly funny...
