I love politics! I love reading, mostly non-fiction. Anything about politics, history, etc. The only fiction that is REALLY a guilty pleasure for me is Anne Rice, probably because her stories are usually in a historical context they suck me in.
As I briefly mentioned history above, it is one thing I love. I am a card caring MN Historical Society member and the girls and I love visiting museums and historical sites. Its actually really inexpensive and we've used it a lot more than I thought we would. I live close to art museums which are fun places to wander through as well.
I'm not all that serious, though it may seem like it from what I've written so far. I laugh a lot - mostly at life, myself, or my kids! Life is too short not to!One of the best Spoken Word Artists EVER! Taalam Acey
I'd like to meet:
I AM NOT ON HERE LOOKING TO GET LAID! If you send rude, suggestive, or explicit messages to me - you will be blocked. I have a man and am NOT lookin for a replacement!!!
There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.
People who turn me off:
Intolerant, racist, homophobic
Lack empathy
Uninvolved in the world around them
Greedy, selfish, egocentric
Spoiled brats
I'd like to meet true progressives and people who really care about working towards bettering their communities, cities, states, country and world!!!

"We are Americans and in our America, we do not torture, we do not imprison people without legal recourse, and we do not give any president unchecked power. Congress must act quickly to rein in this over-reaching president and overturn these un-American acts." --Barack Obama
