BASEBALL and the NY YANKEES in particular, but I also root for the Mets. Travel, cultures and art; theater/ballet; home improvements & interior design & gardening; football season (E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!); Developing my palate; FOOD & WINE; cigars and their stink; current events / politics / the demise of the Bush era (I'm interested in getting our boys and girls back home...slow, but soon - GOD BLESS); literature / history / theology; equity and property value; slothing about...in the sun; boating, fishing and surf fishing; bowling & poker & pool & darts; I just like a little friendly competition in general, but I'll settle with just playing catch. Last, but not least, I'm in love with New York City and its pretty glow. May God bless it and protect it.
I'd like to meet:
Literate Narcissists. (READ ME)Narcissism isn't necessarily a horrible thing. It simply describes the character trait of self love. (The word gets a bad wrap, though.) Indulge me...The word is derived from a Greek myth. Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.Freud believed that some narcissism is an essential part of all of us from birth.Another claims that, in adults, a reasonable amount of narcissism facilitates our perception of our needs for balance in relation to others.See? Not so bad, right?

Television:
YES Network, ESPN, CNN, SEINFELD, Scrubs, HOUSE, BONES and The History Channel. Basically, I can hang with anything that can resolve itself in an hour or less. I don't watch a lot of TV, so when I do, I'd like to see them wrap it up nicely. I'm not going to commit to my TV for months on end. It's bad enough the Yankees have me for half the year :) Oh, and I like Antiques Roadshow because I'm nerdy and it's just like watching the history channel. It's also good to "know before you go" for your local traffic & weather.Myspace Contact TablesMyspace .. Now Icons
Books:
Thomas Paine's COMMON SENSE, Running with Scissors, The Color Purple, Moby Dick, Tuesdays With Morrie, Siddhartha, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Nick Hornbey books, anything that either makes me laugh out loud or depresses me (i.e., A Tree Grows in Brooklyn).I like reading The Post, too. A lot. Especially on the subway.

Mi madre fuerte & my dad, too.
God bless.
