So...without further ado; Ever Married? Leilani is number two in my program, number one in my heart If not, do you plan on it soon? See above Ever Divorced? See above If not, do you plan on it soon? Hell NO!!!!!! Besides losing the love of my life, I think everyone from the WLS board would lynch me if I did! Ever engaged and didn't go through with it? Yep...when I was YOUNG and stupid. Could you survive on an island by yourself? Easily...though it would be much easier still with Lei on the hammock next to me Do you have an obsessive behavior?

Used to be a fan, till he got on the almighty BUCK-band wagon and decided to tap into the "diet fad" market! Walking around with his own weight issues and making money off the masses, whatever!

Hair is too short to give two sprigs about and my clothes ...well, uh, okay, it's a TIE, make up and clothes!
