PedroTheRyan for RonPaul08

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

If we pray together, i'm going to hold your hand.
If i greet you, you're getting a kiss.
I want a longhorn. I want a treehouse. I want a house. i want some land. i want to be a host. I want a Boston Terrier. I want to save the bees. I want to dance. I want to have chickens so i can produce my own eggs. I want a mini-ramp in the backyard. Maybe a horse or two. I want monogrammed towels and polos and topsiders. I want a large, high deck to eat dinner on and socialize with everyone i know and survey my house, treehouse, longhorn, horse, chickens, mini-ramp, neighborhood & monogrammed towels.
i want harmony. I want diversity. I want family. i think I want a pond. I want to give. I want to be worth something more than I am right now. I want to learn more languages. I want to be successful. I want to share. I want peace. i want wisdom. I want others to know what they are worth and what they can become. I want the world to press in on it's fullest potential. I want to protect the environment. I want to protect my heritage. I want to protect cultures.
I sincerely want society to advance to a place where violence is not necessary to solve our problems. I truly feel that hunger, disagreement, entertainment, discipline, transportation must all be solved through peaceful and diplomatic means in order for us to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
I've been to Georgia on a fast train. I wasn't born yesterday. Got me a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education, ain't no need in y'all treatin' me this way. border="0"
