I'm loking for a partner

I am a young professional who can be serious, dependable and dedicated. My other side is that I like to have fun, laugh, be a little crazy and try new things. I love sitting at home watching a movie, going out, and also like the outdoors such as biking, skiing, camping and canoeing. Some of my crazier stunts have been sea-kayaking, white water rafting, and sky diving. I usually am open to trying anything at least once! I also enjoy travelling both in Canada and abroad. I am looking for someone who shares similar interests to meet and is not like guys on milfseeker.com, have fun and then we'll see.

I am originally from the Barrie area and occasionally think of moving back. I am there often to visit my family, I see a lot of milf seekers there. So if you're in Barrie wondering why someone 2 hours away is sending you a smile.........I'm broadening my horizons because hey....you just never know!

Save my queen

My research for God Save My Queen II has led me once again to the German word Doppelganger. In the napkin above, my friend Kathy attempts to give me all the possible variations of the word -- plural male, plural female (which I think I will use in the book, thus ensuring a footnote or shout-out in the dedicatory). The word will be used in the entry for the song "The Miracle," in which the Queen band members used body doubles in their video. They were children, actually, and I asked Kathy if there was a German word for "Mini Me." "Minidoppe" she attempts that in the upper-left-hand corner of this napkin. Doppelganger means "double goer," which is great -- Freddie's trademark admonishment to Brian, mid-solo, is "go, go, go!" and the fact it's a German word is very attractive, since this late Queen anthemic stuff sold like hotcakes in the former DDR. Here's a still from "The Miracle" video:

KPF

This is why I love KPF, however
This is from the NYU Creative Writing Alumni Email List, written by Russell Carmony, the department's administrator, who had to pinch-sing/read since NYUers bagged on representing for their KPF team:


From NPR News in Washington, I'm Carl Castle.

The Radio Free CWP flag was seen flying at half-mast over New York City this
morning after Radio Free suffered poetry karaoke defeat at the hands of City
College.  From member station WNYC in New York, correspondent Beth Fertig has
this report.

In a poetry karaoke remake of The Alamo, the 7-member City College team and
their 50 supporters beat NYU's 5-member team and zero supporters by the score of
4-3 last night at the Bowery Poetry Club in Manhattan's East Village.  To make
their victory more sweet and the NYU defeat more humiliating, the wild City
College team and fans talked serious smack all night long.  NYU, with only 5
people at the club, could not mount a serious response.

NYU team captain Tom Hopkins:  It was rough.

NYU alumni team member Ada Limon echoed his sentiments:  It was brutal.

Things were so bad for NYU, Hopkins had to pull Luther and Maurice off the bench
just to field a team and avoid a forfeit as Emily Gordon was the only other current student to show up. 

Luther and Maurice: Talk about taking one for the team, I mean Mel H. Gibson on
a popsicle stick, man.

Needless to say, his cheeseball found poem and rendition of Jack & Diane did
little to help the NYU cause.

Jen Knox, the other NYU alum on the team, was nearly voiceless from trying to
shout back at the City College mob.  She had only this to say at the end of the
night: I'm not going to comment because the language I would use would get me
kicked off the listserve.

As usual the competition was tainted with more Soviet-era judging as evidenced
by NYU's one-time 3-2 lead eventually turning into a 4-3 defeat. Which does go
to show that like Davey Crockett and the Tennessee Volunteers at The Alamo,
despite overwhelming odds, the NYU team brought it.  Nevertheless, Bowery Poetry
Club officials were at a loss to explain why only five people from NYU's much
larger and more talented writing community were at the venue.

Host Daniel Nester:  Don't ask me. City College was so loud I couldn't hear myself
sing along much less think.

After the show, City College continued the barrage of smack.  Class comments
about private schools, "do you all even write?" and slams about having to use
alumni because no one else showed up, dogged NYU team members outside, even when
they tried to congratulate the City College kids.

In the end, NYU, like The Alamo, lay in ruins.
