About Me

was born in the suburbs in a big Portuguese and Jamaican family. my brothers and sisters are dope runners, chefs, thieves, dead makeup artists, dead beats, drug addicts... and if you know me, we are a unique bunch. they are wicked tho. My mom is known to most of my friends as Mrs. deFreitas. she is right most of the time. Learn to listen to what she says. My dad died a few years back and he was tough as shit. he took me out for lunch a lot and he used to make me go to church on saturday. wierd.my first best friend was tommy krajack and the first girl i liked was kylie in grade 1 i think. i told her i liked her clothes and she had cute freckles... she didnt like me back :( oh well.i really like cooking, and walking other people dogs, and going to visit my family, and kissing and hugging the cute soft girls, and taking to people in Halifax, and listening to music that only geeks know about so then i can talk to geeks.... i really like my friend scott in Toronto, hes different! i like Montréal more and more... i like throwing fun shows where no one knows i do it... its like a secret. i did i mention i like soft girls? i like listening to audio comedy... it makes me think im in the 40's and there is no tv... kind of... you know... i like pot... brown stew... shopping with bastid... the market... being cute to cute soft girls... showers... summer... Jamaica... Larry fertanski and Lucy (the best dog in the world!).my family used to get togather and drink on christmas morning. That was awesome! drunk by noon. i have 14 nephews and nices... they are all cuter than any children you know.there’s lots... its such a hard question
