About Me:
Chances are, I'm smiling right now. I like knowing lots of big words, but I like using the small ones better. I take the last cookie. I'm good with names. I'm no good at cussing (but I wouldn't mind some lessons, particularly in foreign languages).
I think you learn a lot about someone by thumb-wrestling with them. Play isn't a way to kill time -- it's what all the work is for! All the raising people out of poverty and curing disease and stopping war is so that people have more time to play and sing. (That's why I had to beat Guitar Hero on Expert: my contribution to the mission of the human race.)
I'm at ease in front of large crowds, sweet-talking my elected officials, or telling strangers to pick up their litter, but I'm bashful when asking people working in stores where I can find something, or when people call me 'sir'.
I want to orchestrate a series of public space games, help get H.R. 2631 passed, walk on my hands, put my grandkids (or grand-nieces/nephews) through college, be even more awesome at my job, convert my diesel to SVO, and hold at least one more Guinness World Record (I've got a plan). And get back in touch with / meet you!

Who I Want to Meet:
My long-lost people! Curious, articulate, fearless folks who can make me laugh (it's pretty easy). Big-hearted people of all sorts.
I'm sure to like you if you:
- have a sense of how lucky you are to be alive and relatively healthy and literate and well-off enough to have access to friendster.
- know that silence, too, can be a meaningful element of conversation, and that it doesn't always need filling right away.
- believe that the world is worth repairing, and are working on it.
If you're inanimate, I want to meet you if you're Kodachrome Basin State Park, a solid-color t-shirt that fits well, or an unassuming, reliable car that loves long trips.

Born Wilbur Jennings, he has written songs for a number of motion picture soundtracks and numerous popular singers including Steve Winwood, Roy Orbison, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, and Celine Dion. He has received the following major awards: Will is the current director of The Morphing Textbook project. A proposed move for the Veteran's Affairs Clinic in Jennings is causing a stir: as we told you last week, the federal government wants to move it to Lake Charles -- something that would probably make the 18-thousand veterans in the lake area pretty happy.
Will and I share a cube-like corral at work, but, in truth, we share much, much more: an eagerness to thwart evildoers, supreme mastery of sixteen schools of martial art and three schools of winemaking (he is a Level 9 Vintner), a common passion for the study of obscure Eastern European dialects, as well as some quantity of oxygen. In fact, Will is very much like oxygen, being a product of photosynthesis and the key component in the oxidation of ferrous metals.
