About Me

Here it is: the OBLIGATORY "I'm easy-going, laid back, yada yada yada..." If you know me, you know me. The hippie of the gang. I like Pearl Jam (a lot), love my son (with all my heart), and am learning to even like myself (as hard as that is). Other than that, not much to say. Working two jobs while trying to get started teaching (hide your chillens!!) high school English. Finished the first round of college in December. Proud Papa of the world's COOLEST five-year-old. Waste time hanging out with friends at the bar, riding bikes with the kid, kicking his ASS at XBOX (no mercy), tossing a baseball around, shootin hoops, working out, watching TV (how good is Entourage anyway!?!), ...whatever makes the time go by. In a nutshell, I guess that's me. PEACE.Ott The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!
