About Me

Barack & Bono
..I'm a Libra so I'm fun and fair. I love being a dad and if you need a religion to guide you, than look no further than a innocent child. They will guide you and make you realize that they give life meaning and are truly the greatest joy and responsibility you'll ever have or need.

My Interests

Music, Movies, Politics, Social Justice and Sports. I love watching my daughter pitch & play softball and golf. I also enjoy seeing her succeed in school and on the piano and guitar!

I'd like to meet:

Interesting and progessively minded people. People who understand that as Americans we have a unique obligation to help those around us. America didn't become the richest country in the world just because of a Puritan work ethic. We build this country on the backs of people whom didn't get to benefit from their labor or toil.
