GO SABRES!

About Me


iamtryingtobelieve
Lowered windshield? What?
I play guitar and drums, but I play around with bass and keyboard some. I also have two turntables and a microphone, and experiment with DJing, mixing, and singing.

I'm a transporter (in training).

I drove an electric blue 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport , with a 2" suspension lift and 32" all-terrains. I now drive an electric lime green 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with 4" Old Man Emu Medium coil springs and 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers in the front, 2.5" Old Man Emu Heavy-Duty coil springs and .75" coil spacers in the rear, Rubicon Manufacturing Twin Tube shocks, ridin' on 33" MTRs. I have a Warn 9.5Ti winch running Amsteel Blue synthetic rope mounted on the front bumper. Full list of mods is near the end of my page. Ultimate goal is a 6" Nth Degree Mobility Long Arm-Gyro Joint suspension lift, Dynatrac Pro Rock Dana 60s and 37" MT/Rs, and a V8 Hemi swap, but it'll be a while before I have the money. REBB will do for now. :-)
elenaface™ is my bestfriend
I'm also a hardcore Buffalo Sabres fan!
Going to prom...
Try to keep up ;-)
Back in the days of Dead Last...
Me enjoying a fire...
"Why people are so drawn to the irrational is something that has always puzzled me. I want to be, if I can, as sure of the world, the real world around me, as is possible. Now, you can only attain that to a certain degree, but I want the greatest degree of control. I don't.. I've never involved myself in narcotics of any kind, I don't smoke, I don't drink because that can easily just fuzz the edges of my rationality, fuzz the edges of my reasoning powers, and I want to be as aware as I possibly can. That means uh, giving up a lot of uh, fantasies that might be comforting in some ways, but I'm willing to give that up in order to live in an actually real world, as close as I can get to it." - James Randi
"Don't say that a car is bad just because it's made somewhere; that proves your intolerance.
Don't say a car is ugly; everybody has a different opinion- maybe you don't like it, and I respect that.
Do not judge a car by its displacement, hp/liter or 1/4 mile time; that shows your ignorance.
Driving is an experience, not just numbers."

My dad is a car nut, so he always gets these high performance supercars
and I get to have a lot of fun driving them. ;-) Want a ride in one? Just ask.

There are no good cars left

I'd like to meet:

Cool, intelligent people with open minds.

You are Agnostic
You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care.
For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine.
You rather focus on what you can control - your own life.
And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you. What's Your Religious Philosophy?

My Kissing Style:
Pretty accurate.. in fact, completely true:

You Are a Passionate Kisser

You are the most likely type to kiss a sexy stranger

Your kissing style is unpredictable and free spirited

You could kiss anyone at a drop of a hat

It's all about where your passion leads you

What's Your Kissing Style? :-)
