About Me

I've just created this profile... Why? Because everyone and their dog (sometimes literally) has a silly myspace profile. As my life unfolds, I might update this thing. Besides, it's a way to keep in contact with people who only live on myspace and rarely get out of the house to do anything else.

And about my disappearance to everyone who knew me before...
I was busy trying to find the uplink to Skynet, protecting Sara Conner, Finding Waldo, finding the creators of "Rubik: The Amazing Cube" so I could kill them, and fighting aliens to protect mankind...
or if you don't buy that, I was busy and didn't have time to do anything until lately.

I'm single, but not looking for a relationship. However, I wouldn't turn one down if the right woman came along.

My Interests
