ABOUT ME

Very outgoing with numerous interests. Very intelligent and witty. Agnostic liberal person who's not afraid to stand up for what he believes. Very fit. Very literate with eclectic tastes in music, literature, film, theater, movies, tv, etc., etc. I really, really enjoy listening to people.
