: About Me

I'm 42, never married. I was born in Chicago. My parents split up on my 10th birthday. Chicago was (and still is to a large extent) pretty racially segregated and I'm mulatto so when my parents split we kids went with mom (white) to the Northside of the city (white). I had a hard time in the school there, one child used the N word everytime he saw me. One day I couldn't take it anymore and "went off" as they say and told the entire Catholic school to F-themselves because no one ever punished the little...child. It was a very Kim thing to do even at 10 years old. I'm not one to take a lot of abuse and I've always had to fight for myself.

I have a great dog, new condo, worked at a major food manufacturer for the last 10 years. I like computers and work in the systems area. I love movies and I'm a big geek.

My dream is to go to England and go metal detecting in the English countryside for old Roman coins. Very few people get that or me, so don't feel bad if you don't either. Also, I'd like to go to Egypt, Italy, and perhaps France as long as no one's mean to me. I plan to make these dreams happen sooner rather than later, hopefully in the next 5 years.

If you couldn't tell from the previous paragraph I'm a bit of a history/archeology geek. I also lived in LA for most of the eighties, thank you for your pity, I worked for a famous comedy club and I have a few stories from those days I may share if prompted.

Thanks for viewing, love to hear from you, especially if you're single and male (handsome and rich wouldn't hurt either). :-)

The Case for Inconvenience If every action taken has a consequence, the question of what consequence we sustain based on our daily actions must be examined in detailed.  Socrates called the unexamined life not worth living, but we might suggest that the unexamined actions we perform on a daily basis may make our children’s lives not worth living. We live in a convenience-driven world.  We need convenience, our lives have become so packed with what we have to accomplish that the idea of living life without some of that convenience equals less productivity and that is simply ...
