I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm me. I've been me for most, if not all of my life. I rather enjoy it, so I've decided to stick with it. I live in an undercover 7-11 that I (and some friends) converted to a 5br + recording studio Rock'n'roll paradise.No, we don't still have a slurpee machine. But we do still have some of the linoleum. It's orange.

My Interests

You. Leather.

Jazz. Ok, maybe a little emo, a little hip-hop...

Movies:

Movies are too long. The following are things I can do in the time it takes to watch a movie: Paint a half of a room. Fix the sink in my house so the drain stopper works. Install a countertop. Caulk, seal and trim my last bedroom. Cut a hole and make a little window for my loft. Take Corona for a run. Write my Senator. Go to Starbucks. Twice. Make a burrito. Make sweet sweet love. Make sweet sweet love to a burrito. Go to Starbucks again. Movies Schmovies, there is nothing you need to tell me that should take 90+ minutes. You don't get time wasted back, folks.
