About Me

My name is pronounced ah-NEE-kah no-NEE...like you only have one KNEE. if i could figure out how to make the computer put a little stress mark on that 'knee', i would. :)I await the day that Toyota deems me fly enough, and that my name carries enough weight, that they gift me with one of their new hybrids! C'mooooon y'all, it'll be good publicity for both of us...I promise. I will keep it clean, and I will always drive with a smile. ...even in l.a. And I will buff it and wax it and call it george.'Cat' on Today.This clip just about made me pee.This one makes me want to scream or cry. .. .. <msprm name="movie" value="http://www.
