You Are A Martini
You are the kind of drinker who appreciates a nice hard drink.
And for you, only quality alcohol. You don't waste your time on the cheap stuff.
Obviously, you're usually found with a martini in your hand. But sometimes you mix it up with a gin and tonic.
And you'd never, ever consider one of those flavored martinis. They're hardly a drink!
"Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?"
Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.
You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!
A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict.
One moment you're in your own little happy universe...
And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!

You Are 84% Open Minded
You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out!
Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand.
You don't have a judgmental bone in your body, and you're very accepting.
You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself.
I have a background in jazz, and am versed in rock, blues, folk, electronica, soul and funk. My style is very unique and versatile. Day rate is $200/4 hour session. Email for samples or inquiries.
About me:

"Happiness consists in realizing it is all a great strange dream." Kerouac
Who I'd like to meet: Happy people, critical thinkers, musicians, creative minds, smarties, lovers, artists, travelers, foreigners, and others as curious about life as I am and not nearly as afraid of it as most people.
