My Interests

my latest interest is the great american eagle slot machine at the casino that was newly built 10 minutes from my east side home. bastards, im thinking about it right now. i am also very very interested in cold cold beverages of the alcoholic persuasion under a nice shade on a killer hot summer day. besides gambling and drinking, i love music. play in a sweet band called better friends than lovers. it is a very gay name. we know this already. i sing and play guitar. maybe a shaker thing sometime. i also like listening to old records, dance parties in the upstairs hallway (aka in front of the mirror). i like to go to shows, i like to go on road trips, i like to eat sherbert, i like to kiss.
