Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I have not the smarts or patience for political office.
