About me: I divide my time between books, music, the piano, hockey, videogames, computers, movies, writing, and trying to strike a balance between hopeless romantic and typical guy (aka, macho pig). I think it's going well. I equally like sitting by the ocean, watching it snow, or taking a drive to see the fall colors, as well as watching Predator, being mystified by the power of boobs, and working on my car, the yard, or my computers. Who's with me?
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone really. :) But if you know the difference between your/you're, their/there, and to/two/too, or that you don't use "[name] and I" in the predicate of a sentence, I'll like you MORE.
Actually, I'm here because I have a couple of lovely friends from my childhood and college years that use MySpace, and I want to keep in touch with them. It's helpful to me for that reason. I hope everything is going well for you nowadays. Keep me posted. Sal
