Like Rashid, I didnt like Mark the first time I met him while working at AOL.
Too tall, too arrogant, too handsome.
Like Rashid, over time, I found we were kindred spirits in a lotta ways.

Primarily, we are both determined to live our lives our own way, no matter the consequences.

He popped up on IM, havent seen him on in a long while
