Started this thing for myspace music. I'm mainly into alternative rock. I really enjoy live shows, and need to start going more often.

Well I grew up on a farm. I had a pet horse, rabbit, chicken, you name it. Now I live in a suburb of DC (it's not that bad, but there are just too many damn people around and not enough greenery!). I am definitely not a city person. I am not sure where I will eventually settle but it is going to be somewhere quiet!
- Rachael Caputo
Me in a nutshell: I am a tree-hugging liberal girl who (oddly) likes country music and bubble gum pop. I think abortion should always be a woman's choice and that men don't get a real say in the matter because, hey, we're the ones with uteruses. I think condoms should be talked about and given out in school.

i am a pretty aimless and carefree guy. I don't get mad and break furniture or glass, except when i'm tilting bad. just give me my cartman punching doll and stay away from me and don't tell me how much you are winning. I've given serious starts to at least five different career tracks in my life. If the earth's population were nuked and I was one of the few people left, I would probably be voted "guy with biggest collection of useless skills.".

Born in Hong Kong, grew up in NYC, hung out in Japan, did college in Ithaca, spent my 20s in DC/Baltimore, skipped through Ann Arbor, and now I am in Chicago (since 2004). The more places I live in, the more I realize we are similar in the inside but packaged differently on the outside.

I am very new to South Florida. So, I would like to meet people in the region and become more social. Unlike buying property, when it comes to finding good people location means nothing, and I am will to travel. I am trying to broaden my horizon and meet more friends globally. Hey, computers, phones, cars, and planes are available to unite people from the most remote locations.
