About Me

I am the coolest, smartest, funniest, most handsome, fastest, most humble person in the world...EVER!

My Interests

Music, reading, writing, driving around, sports, going to concerts, "playing" guitar, The George Foreman Grill,having drinks, good conversations, doing half-way decent impressions of people, NPR, ringing people's doorbells and running away-fast, the sound of clocks "ticking", shoping at Long's at 3 in the morning, movies and music...lots of music.

I'd like to meet:
