About Me

my name is john, pronounced with an "umpty." i spend most of my waking hours making www.vintagevantage.com better. i love music and i love going to shows with people who love going to shows. i love playing kickball and i love my kickball team - www.kitshickers.com . i stay up really late at night, and don't often get up early. i'm not loud, at all. i believe in sarge rojo , and i believe the children are the future. i'm silly as shit, and sometimes i feel like i can do anything.

My Interests
