Jason

I wrecked the El Camino. Woulda been DWI, so I just walked off and left it laying on its side. Troop

About Me

I write songs and sing and play guitar. I have a cool family and a large amount of badass friends. I'm bad at returning phone calls. I smoke cigarettes and drink whiskey. I've been told that I'm a heathen and a pirate. Both were meant as high compliments, and I took them as such.Get your layout at YourSpaceCorner.Com
