Political Hack

In constant search of life during workaholism.

About Me

quirky workaholic, indie music aficionado, and Democratic political hack (my vocation, as well as my avocation) .... I prefer music over movies, Zeppelin over Pink Floyd (and the Stones over the Beatles), coffee over tea, and rocky road over vanilla ice cream (unless, of course, it's vanilla bean... then it's a toss.)

My Interests

Democratic/Progressive/Liberal politics, music, eating great food, traveling everywhere (foreign and domestic), international football (soccer).

I'd like to meet:

Interesting denizens with political inclinations, great taste in music or eccentric perspectives on life.
