M.I.K.E.

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

you know what? you can sleep when you're dead; no rest for the wicked! my life is a continuous persuit of new accomplishments. when i find something fascinating, i obsess over it. i'm curious about learning all the different ways that one thing can be interpreted... perfection does not really exist & art is a never ending pursuit.==================================================== ===============i like coffee, orange juice, bloody mary's and bacon. i frequently bump into familiar faces while out and about, and i love that! i like to answer your either/or questions with 'yes.' i grew up on a skateboard, i find gravity to be very entertaining. i cook burgers on the grill, there are some who refer to them as 'mikey burgers.'=================================================== ================my tree of chicago friendships has roots in the music classifieds in the reader. i think dan savage has some good advice. occaisinonally you may find a mosh pit somewhere in my crib. i don't like driving & tend to drive like an asshole, therefore i ride a bike or CTA as much as possible. i guess i drive like that cause i'm kind of an impatient bastard... but, i learn from my mistakes. i'm brutally honest, it helps keep life a little more simple. i could eat mexican food every day for the rest of my life... + + +anyone interested in the zodiac lowdown, i'm scorpio as hell, i think there's still a blog about it up there somewhere... plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com ..
