I still recall the taste of your tears. Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears

About Me

When all the little boys growing up wanted to be a police man, I wanted to be a Vampire. My heart is like that of a walrus in heat around December 24th. I clean myself regularly and have above average eating habits. I have numerous talents and I pick up new ones quickly. I follow rules, eat balanced meals and run marathons regularly. In my spare time I like to construct medieval castles from discarded tooth picks which I collect at abandoned gas stations. At one point in my life I was a much sought after philanthropist , a discipline I've since given up for the finer art of paper machet. I dig intricate tunnels in my backyard, in case I become reincarnated as a gopher in a future life, Ill have a head start on things. I invented the wheel last year while Hula Hooping only to find out I was a few centuries too late. I can travel at the speed of light while no one is around and I posses the amazing ability to grow exceedingly long strands of pubic hair which I once wove into a quilt of the last supper.When things look bad. I just remember that Ive got a really big dick and things seem much better.Seriously though some of you may remember me from some of my past accomplishments like...Considered to be one of the original old schoolpromoters of North America's Underground Movement 1990 - 1999.

My Interests

I sent my application in to The Real World, and I’m pretty much putting all of my eggs in to that basket… the MTV basket. I also want to talk to you about snow blindness in cats. It’s affecting a lot of cats…and it scares the shit out of me

I'd like to meet:

98% of people will die sometime in their lives. But, Id like to meet Jesus. I like to think of my Jesus wearing a tuxedo t-shirt. It shows that he’s formal, ya know, but it also says, ‘Hey, I like to party" I'd also like to meet people that are into Holiday Sweaters and being Naked in the Daylight I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Music:

If my MTV career doesn’t work out, I was thinking about buying a gun.. and selling crack. I would be like a friendly crack dealer, though. Nothing too formal. I’d just be like ‘What’s up? Want some crack?

Movies:

My favorite movie is Highlander.It won the Academy Award for… best movie ever made...Second Bestest Movie ever made was actually a tie between Short Circuit and Fried Green TomatoesZ

Television:

Musically Im really into High School Marching Bands. Every Friday Night there are countless performances from a multitude of Marching Bands around the country. I love it with they play Louie Louie and they march off when the song says "we gotta go" ..its gets me everytime. I also love how when they play CANT TOUCH THIS by MC Hammer they break formation and the horn players go crazy! ....

Books:

I did a full spread for Playgirl Magazine. I mean full spread. I spread my buttcheeks under the name Mike Honcho.

Heroes:

My hero is Mad Maxx and even though we don't need another hero.We don't need to know the way home.All we want is life beyond the thunderdome. I also wanna thank little baby jesus, whos sitting in his crib watching the baby Einstein videos learning about shapes and colors. And my psychiatrist who after a year in therapy told me,"maybe life isn't for everybody"...
