About Me

Burrito, light of my life, fire of my lower intestine. My sin, my dinner. Bur-ri-to: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the tortilla to tap, at three, on the pico de gallo. Bur. Ri. To.

My Interests

whatever you're into.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Movies:

ones of strangers that they don't know about.

Television:

five mile creek.

Books:

i'm not telling.
