About Me

I am an outgoing, laid back, and hard working person. I bust my ass to get what I want and I don't expect anyone to give anything to me or do it for me. I drink too much and smoke until my lungs hurt. I am from St. Louis... Born and raised. It kind of sucks, I don't think I will ever escape this black hole, but I am starting to find the things I am looking for here so it seems worth it. I have been told that when it comes to my friends and family I can be a total pushover... But for the most part I am strong and independant person. I am totally and 100% in love so fuck off and leave me alone, I am NOT interested. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and I know my way around under the hood of a car. I like to think of my self as smart. I have goals and I and I am pretty sure I know where I am going in life. I want to travel when I get a chance, I want to go to so many places I couldn't even begin to name them all here. But a few are Italy, Tibet, India, Scotland, Thialand... the list goes on and on. Don't send me a friend request just because I seem cool on my profile... If you send me a request email me along with it or I will probably ignore you. My profile is more to keep in touch with the people I know, I'm not interested in looking "cool" with high friend numbers. I really could give a fuck less how many friends I have on here, what matters is who I am hanging out with on the weekend. * Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0 *

MIKE HAWK AND THE DICKS There are a few more...Really too much to list it would just go on and on!! And such a wide variety too, Of course I have my favorites but I really don't discriminate as long as it is good music.

Movies:

HA!! You are kidding me right I couldn't name all of the ones I like. Any historical movie, cheesey horror flicks, chick flicks, action, adventure, not too picky on the genre. Hamburger Hill, Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles (I know chicks flicks), The Breakfast Club, Braveheart, Clerks, American History X, Resovior Dogs, Boondock Saints, Super Troopers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 13 Ghosts...

Television:

I own one... Don't use it much though.

Books:

I will read anything, up to and including some text books!! But I really like Stephan King, Dean Koontz, George RR Martain, and alot of the old classics. I really like this one book though: Dharma Punx, by Noah Levine Memoirs of a Geisha, Angela's Ashes, Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons...

Heroes:

My Grandfather... Too much to say about him. I could never do him justice here. And all those who selflessly serve our country.

Wild Angels

There is a childlike naivety to the girls here. Even after all the shit that their families and country have gone through they still have an innocence to them. An innocence that I am jealous of. Soun...
