I hate fakes, phonies,liars,stupid people and people who dont know me and try to add me on Myspace !

About Me

I am an adventurer, a bon vivant who loves to play poker,take risks, travel the world, eat exotic food,water sports in tropical locales, go river rafting,sightseeing,drive classic cars, and oh,come up with a better mousetrap. Also lifes too short so I wanna be surrounded by positive, good, sharp people.I sometimes love to interact with smart folks incl certain politicians, supreme court judges, geniuses,inventors,animators,creators, and other such peeps. One of my peeves begins here at Myspace with yahoos who dont know me but want to ADD me, Whats that about?Another peeve is people who dont return your phone call. How difficult is it in a 24 hour day to return a 15 second call? Another annoyance is people who gloat,UUGGH, and yet another is people who dont own a watch and therefore are never on time.Since when does 7 pm become 9pm? OK.Ok on a positive note though lets just have a great fun time and play and party and travel and eat and listen to cool music and do all the cool things we should. I enjoy fine food and wine and put together fabulous wine dinners which some of you have attended, or read about in magazines.I also believe in personal resposibilty and HATE government intrusion re poker,guns,lifestyle,TAXES etc which is why I love Ayn Rand and agree w her 99%. I also think Milton Friedman was the greatest economist of our time and it all blends with my philosophy of true capitalism and free enterprise and total liberty. .layout {myspace-layout-name: Pink_Floyd; myspace-layout-site: url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com'); }
