SPORTS!!
Love my home teams.
THE WIRE!
I play raquetball & field hockey.
Writing, reading, my faith in Christ, social consciousness, progress, youth initiatives.
I'd like to meet:
Responsible for my own happiness. I know what I want out of life and am working toward making it happen. I'm not perfect, yet I'm pleased with where I'm at in my journey of improvement and content with the progress I'm continually making. I am the architect of my existence. I'd like to meet others similarly inclined.
Oh, and of course, any members of my lovely Blue & White Family!
