Your Ol' Pal

About Me

"Live like you're dying - because you are."
I make jokes, I make friends; I read, I think; sometimes I watch a movie, sometimes I write. Once, I drew.
I try to stay vegan, I try to avoid wheat - I just don't try hard!
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who think (critically) and seek to learn ever more about anything, everything. Persons who exercise an inquisitive attitude.
Those doing more than self-obsessing and "partying".
Escaped convicts.
