About Me

I like puns and double/multiple entendres. I'm nice because I really believe most people have something good to offer. I'm a geek but I party. I have almost no value judgements about people. I want to be around people who care about something or someone enough to stop thinking about themselves. I like live music. I betcha i could throw a football over the mountains.
