I wish I was like you...easily amused.

About Me

I am a person who wants to help change the world one step at a time. I am entering my second year of AmeriCorps service although I am now a Corps member rather than a VISTA. I despise any sort of pretension, discrimination, or apathy. I love sarcasm and use it like it is my job. I like sitting around drinking coffee, beer, or some sort of hard liquor talking about whatever. I love politics and political discussion, but am starting to hate all the party line bullshit. My niece, Gianna, is my most favorite person in the world. I love learning about different religions, but despise organized religion. I want to work in education, but do not want to be a teacher. I love the Lady Vols and the NY Liberty. I am fluent in foreign hand gestures and have a strong desire to one day be a 3rd base coach. I do love the night life, but never got to boogie on the disco round which saddens me. People think I am weird or some sort of alien because I do not like chocolate or diamonds. Although, I do love hot chocolate and chocolate soy milk. I am falling in love with Philadelphia especially Northern Liberties. If you want to know anything else just ask. Good day.
