My Interests

lots of things

I'd like to meet:

People who are passionate.
People who step outside the box. People who inspire me.
People who are who they say they are and who act in the manner in which they present themselves. People who set high standards for themselves then live up to them. People who "walk the talk", if you will.

Music:

The music I listen to is better than the music you listen to...duh.

Movies:

I fall asleep during movies. Sometimes even good ones.

Television:

no thanks...well maybe sometimes.
