About Me

I love hippies, music, and art. I play lacrosse, so naturally I have no problem being a little bit rough with people. I'm a critic of a lot of things, but usually it's constructive. I'm pretty independent, but I'd never desert my friends. I own more tee shirts than any person should ever aspire to have. Oh, one more thing: I love LoLCats.
I have an odd obsession with Stephen Stills.
I also think that every man should channel their inner Cary Grant at all times.
