About Me

I'm basically the coolest person you'll ever meet.------------------------------------------------------- ----Success... To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayl of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.--Emerson

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has ambition and goals in this life. Anyone who isn't a prick or tries to bring other people down. Honest people, people who care about me as much as I care about them. People who are fun and don't suck the life out of you with their negativity. Anyone who loves to celebrate life as much as I do. Anyone who shares my ideals of what a friend should be.
