About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / San francisco

I'm a 1.5 generation Italian American. My mom was born in SF and my dad is from Sicily. My Mom's parents are from northern Italy. I grew up in the Sunset District of SF. I'm very easy (to get along with) but there's only about a dozen people I consider to be my inner circle of friends. I have a degree in journalism from Humboldt State and have worked as a copy editor, page designer, news/features reporter and restaurant reviewer for newspapers/magazines. I've played guitar for about 12 years and don't really have a set style but mainly draw on elements of hard rock, blues and folk. I'm not sure what else to say. I think the rest of my profile fills in a lot of blanks.23

My Interests

homebrewing, disc golf, beer, shots, strong mixed drinks, video games, 420, hiking, offroading, camping, shooting pool, playing guitar, firearms, bar hopping, traveling, playing chess, archery, astrology, astronomy, tropical fish, science and sports (baseball, football, mixed martial arts)

I'd like to meet:

Outgoing peeps who share similar interests, are open minded, have a twisted sense of humor, kind soul and common courtesy. No bullshiters, pricks or drama queens/kings.
