Like most people, I'm still trying to figure this whole "about me" thing out. I have a lot of bad habits, like drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, hanging out in dive bars with friends, and watching dumb movies. Someday I'll have to give up at least the first two, I'm sure, but that day has not yet come. I don't know how to fold a fitted sheet properly, and I find it somewhat difficult to keep my house tidy, what with the yellow lab puppy tearing around all the time. I'd rather play with her than clean, anyway.

I want to meet Emily Dickinson, Mrs. Garrett, and the guy who wrecked his car in front of the Dade County Public School building downtown 10 years ago as I was walking by. John Cusack, Sid and Nancy, and anyone who doesn't have or want a personal trainer. People who make a concerted effort not to start a conversation with, "So, what do you do for a living?" Hillary Clinton, Michael Moore, Soleil Moon Frye, pet owners, democrats, progressives, writers, poets, musicians, and anyone who ever owned a red '65 Mustang and fixed it up themselves.
