Uncle Jhish

My beard alone has expierenced more than other men's entire bodies.

About Me

A bout of me will leave you typically smiling although there are times when I'm a grumpy old bastard. Never know when that guys gonna pop up. I feel like I put energy into things like friendships, work, learning, reading, music, dancing, family and the occasional adult beverage. Although I can also do a hell of a good job at doing none of those at all and wasting an entire day staring at the ceiling in my bedroom thinking about doing all those things. I am horrible at returning phone calls and responding to myspace messages. Don't take that as an insult-sometimes I just don't have anything constructive to say even though i do care. Thanks for being my pal.
