Ball Out 500

I'm not just some asshole with money. I'm actually a pretty interesting guy...

About Me

I cannot tell you what I am, more than a ray of the summer's sun. What I am I am, and say not. Being is the great explainer. (Thoreau) Born for success he seemed, with grace to win, with heart to hold, with shining gifts that took all eyes. (Emerson) I like to be in bed by 10 and home by 12. (Quagmire)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars... (Kerouac) ***[Note: no nihilists, cannibals, vampires, prepaid legal reps, doppelgangers, cutters, Chesters, Republican mouthpieces, Jabberwocks, or anyone who can bench more than 225.]
