About Me

In a past life I was not a knight or a king, or a very important person. I was a corn husker, and a real jerk. This time, I'm a sort of a Rennaisance man, pretty cool and easy going! I like people, and people like me, but I don't care for corn so much.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
