About Me

Make sure to visit my home on the web at: www.mikeyouens.com
...FIRST THING IS FIRST - I LOVE DOGS!!! I love being with friends (I LOVE ALL MY FRIENDS) who are comfortable being themselves and who don't get jealous of other friendships. Hanging out - listening to music and making each other laugh are my favorite things to do. I also like doing impulse things - just go out and do it. Don't talk and talk and talk about it - Just Do It.
