About Me


i was a cup of coffee light and sweet. I went down to coffee, light, one sugar about five years ago(however, when at home brewing it myself, I would put two or three sugars.)
These days i'm coffee, light, no sugar.
and that is all... for now.

My Interests

music, photography, home recording, stand-up comedy, crossword puzzles, the performing arts, competetive eating, trying to broaden my horizons, personal growth.
