My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Kind people, genuine souls, humble folks flying under the radar, those that give of themselves, people who like to laugh and have a slightly twisted sense of humor, people who like movies, people who appreciate baseball, people who love animals, people who overcome great obstacles in their life.

Oh, and your 2009 World Series Champions...

The Best Films Of 2008, Part 2, Honorable Mention
