About Me

Heartbreaker, solo.

My Interests

the rock, the roll, the law, cats, travel, spicy food, absurd humor, scatological graffiti on posters in the subway, bargain basements, dollar stores, 100 yen stores, 40 baht stores, synonyms, expanding my vocabulary, NY Po$t headline$, giving valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die, feeling like I'm too old to be quoting the Smiths but still doing it anyway

I'd like to meet:
