CITY PARKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I am 32 years old, I love spending time w/ my wife and kids. Free time is rare at this point. I do like hanging with my friends. I am a people person love people!!!!! everyone is different, and you can have a good conversation by accident... I enjoy being active. I try to work-out as much as possible and keep as active as possible.MORE ABOUT ME: I love music. I went to school for radio but decided that I would pursue other options. I took classes in speaking and theatre and I enjoy both of those. Never the less I am on a quest to hone my very average DJ skills and to do an inter-net radio show. Music is my passion and it shows in many ways. Hence look at the page.. I was very glad to do both an industrial electronic music show in college and I was most proud of the news show we did (MJ, Carmen, and I)Send me a VoiceComment. It's FREE!
