Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

About Me

I'm the kind of person you want to know. My middle name is "Back In The Day". Animals and Grandmas flock to me as if I was a figure out of the Bible or a Disney film. Check out my blog at baseballwonk.blogspot.com for the really realness. It's kind of funny and I actually (try to) update the fucking thing occasionally.

My Interests

Tight pants, record-buying sprees, running wild at the Multiplex, Chicago White Sox, attempting to relate to a world where language is dead, cultural ephemera, reading books, blogging about my emotional blankness, squashing the hate, going on dates, subtly contrasted combinations of the above

I'd like to meet:

Dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!
