About Me

Friends of mine has describe me as being the quiet cool type, laid back, relaxed and enjoying life to the fullest. I might be quiet at first but once you get me started on a topic I'm into, I tend to go on a rant (giving everyone a fair warning) =). I'm very friendly, open minded, willing to try new experiences / adventures. I'm always listening to music, mostly heavy metal, but I do like all other types of music. Enjoy going out to the bars/clubs with some friends, having a couple of drinks (ok more than a couple), meeting new people. If you see out on the street yell out and say "hi".
