My Interests

If you do suceed in maintaining my interest, cool. If not, please keep in mind that the problem likely genetic (my inattention, that is- not your dullness) and that the person who suffers most, in the end, will be me. I wouldn't have it any other way

Television:

I do enjoy every season of America's Next top Model, and the real world/road rules gauntlet can be a soothing respite in these troubled times of ours. Otherwise, I'm happy to let joey hold the remote.
