Control Your Own Destiny

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI'm energetic, passionate, enthusiastic, and driven. I am fun to be around and I take exceptional care to be a good friend and lover. I have a tendency to be critical, and I have little or no tolerance for stupid people. I like nightlife and I live by a work hard, play hard mentality. I worry too much, I give too much of myself at times, and I need people in my life who remind me that sometimes it's okay to just take time for me. I'm a closet dork who has transformed from tomboy to someone who likes girl things (shhhh), but I still can drink you under the table and I swear like a sailor.

My friend

I lost my friend today.   And no, this blog will have little to do with food. Aside from the fact, perhaps that he loaned me his giant pot at one time for a Packer's party and I unfortunately suc...
