Soul Power '72, chumps.

About Me

I am The Joker, who sees deeply and too much. Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips.
I think you know the rest.

My Interests

good lit... good conversation... dinner... people who know how to curse... movies with plots, scripts and good dialogue...

I'd like to meet:

People who ask why because it matters. People who are interesting in lasting ways (intellect, sincerity, depth, warmth...). People without vapid glam shots and are not obsessed with their appearance. People who actually know what intelligent conversation is. People who know enough to make sure their profiles are Safari friendly. People who know what Safari is. People who read/think/live outside the box.
People who are Everyday People. =D
People who know they deserve to be accepted and not just tolerated. People that can think objectively. People who'll eat soul food with me. People who've got grandmothers that cook soul food. People who will invite me over to sample Grandma's yams, collard greens and stuff.
Other than that, all your average heathens, whores, outcasts, and social misfits are welcome.... BUT NO IRISH!
