I LOVE setting myself up for failure...

About Me

Hi. My name is Kelly. I would like to believe I am a decent person, if not a bit strange. I think I like the same things most other people like, but I appreciate and show my admiration differently than others. My sense of humor is rather awkward at times and I have a tendency to be condescending. I am terrible at small talk. I cannot stand it when people arbitrarily flatter one another, all the while expecting something in return, as if they were exchanging Christmas gifts. I don't know that there is one person who I would consider to be my best friend. I am terrible with women, so much to the point that I barely even try anymore. Essentially, I have neither the intention nor the ability to exist and function within the social atmosphere that pervades the age demographic I belong to, however I think that if you can look past my social ineptitude, I am confident you will find an interesting person. Also, I really love Jazz.

My Interests

Jazz, Wagner Operas, Marijuana, Women, and Cold Weather. Not necessarily in that order.

I'd like to meet:

New people. I'm tired of seeing the same faces over and over again, and apparently they are tired of me as well. I would like to branch out and meet some new people. Also, people I know that I haven't spent much time with recently. Let's hang out.

My Blog

I think maybe I will be a preacher for a living, I just have to find the right Religion...

Maybe I will just start my own.Here goes nothing:Today, we(you may think locally or globally in try to contextualize this) live in a society that rewards backstabbers, moneygrubbers, and empty sociali...
