About Me


My name is Solomon Logan, though most people call me Sol and only my folks can still get away with calling me Solomon.
It's NOT pronounced "soul".
My contact info is here , but you can't stalk me read it if we don't know each other.
I've called the ATL home for over 10 years now and was born and raised in Hollywood. That's Hollywood, FLORIDA, mind you, so don't write me asking if I can help you break into acting.
Sometimes I like to write . You should read my stuff.
    Some of my best include: * "I can do the happy any man"* What's going on in the john (my most popular ever!)* The Little Stripper Who Couldn't* A typical Sol workday, i.e. Office Space* How I won $1,000 and made the local paper on a visit home
I have a younger brother, and an older sister who has a unique story to her. My parents are still married and celebrated their 35th in January 2008...pretty cool, huh?
Since I'm always getting asked this...yes, I really am the age shown above. I know I don't look it, or act it, and I certainly don't feel it, but it's true.
I am chronically good-natured. I'm far too nice to most people, even if they don't deserve it. As a result, I make friends of both sexes quickly and easily, which is a good quality in general but has proven to be a major liability in the dating game. On the flip side, when someone genuinely wrongs me or tries to take advantage of my good nature...look out. You do not want to be on Sol's sh** list.
For a guy who's hooked on several reality tv shows, doesn't read much, and does his share of partying and clubbing, I'm surprisingly intelligent. Or to put it differently, for a guy who was first in a high school class of 400, scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and GMAT without trying, and holds a master's degree, I have some surprisingly non-intellectual recreational pursuits.
I am a mildly obsessive football fan, especially when it comes to my alma mater, the Florida Gators. I play hold 'em poker on occasion and would rate my skill level as "fair". I'm considerably better at another card game called Magic that you've likely never heard of. I've traveled to such places as Germany, France, Spain, and Australia to play it and won enough money at it to cover my travels and then some.
I try to take good care of myself. I work out a few times a week and eat pretty healthy in general. It's been close to a decade since I ate French Fries. I shit you not. I know they're not the worst thing one could put in himself...at this point it's more about keeping a silly streak alive than anything else. I've also never tried a cigarette or any kind of recreational drugs, though for some reason people from time to time ask me if I have drugs to sell them when I'm out. (WTF?) I do, however, enjoy the occasional (or not-so-occasional) adult beverage.
I've got a profile on the Facebook too. Check it out here .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Female? Single? Interested?
This is a must-read: 10 Simple Rules for Dating Sol

Music:

If you live in the Atlanta area and enjoy live acoustic music, check out Days Unchained, a duo based in Marietta! Click the image below for their Myspace: ..

I like hip-hop and old-school Miami booty bass. Also I've always been big into what a couple of my best friends call "techno-house bullshit". The first music I ever bought was C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat". Some of my all-time favorite dance tracks are: "Close My Eyes" - Astroline, "Be Cool" - Paffendorf, "As the Rush Comes" - Motorcycle

Movies:

Note - some of these fall under the heading of "so bad it's good": Star Wars saga, Office Space, Forrest Gump, Clash of the Titans, The Fugitive, Bring It On, Back to the Future series, Alien series, The Sixth Sense.
On the other end of the spectrum, I hate hate hate The Breakfast Club. Wanna know why?

Television:

Big Brother. I wanna be on it someday!
During Fall weekend afternoons I can typically be found in front of a TV watching college and pro football - GO GATORS!!!

Books:

"But Beavis, reading sucks! huh-huh"
...ok, I read Brave New World in my senior year of high school and it was pretty cool. I liked 1984 too. (Couldn't have "Big Brother" without it!)
I enjoy and/or want to spend more time reading books about entrepreneurship, real estate, general self-improvement, and poker.
