AJ, you're barely alive!

i'm hot 'cause i'm fly, you ain't 'cause you not.

About Me



this is what goes on inside my head

I like
hard work, slow dancing, and the way a yellow light looks as I go zooming under it.
I don't like
dreams that don't turn into goals, boys that don't turn into men, drunkenness, and the girls that put up with any of them.
