I got my eyes on the action

About Me

"Here by intervention, I want YOUR attention" Easy going/laid back/open-minded guy here who was born and raised in Los Angeles. I reside in the silverlake area and love to drive around in my jeep blasting music, especially Duran Duran. I love to git down at parties and clubs with my friends; and there are times when a cozy coffee house will do (whether it be by myself or with someone sweet). I find that having a good balance btwn work & fun is what keeps me going. I may come across as shy when you first meet me, but once you get me going you'll see that I have a sense of humor that encompasses plain silliness with a touch of sarcasm. Also love road trips, but with these gas prices..good grief..who knows when I will be able to go on another one. Peace
