My parents said I could be what ever I wanted when I grew up, so I became an asshole

About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
I used to live in Detroit, like most I struggled everyday to get by and spent most of the year trying to keep my toes from going frickin numb. I realized that that wasn't much fun and I didn't want to be 50 doing the same thing so I left. I went as far south as my Explorer would take me and started from scratch with a different attitude. Now I dive for treasure and try to live life by my rules, it's seems to be working out much better so far....."Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

My Interests

I can't really think of anything that dosen't interest me... except spam and peanut butter sandwiches with mayo. I've been into music my whole life and find myself out doing things that are outdoors and dosen't require a bunch of people or "rules" (ie. snow/wakeboarding, scuba, spearfishing, mountian biking, etc.), not that I don't play well with others, it's just I'm more competitive against myself than you.

I'd like to meet:



My Friend Space
It costs 10$ to see my friends list - Please mail cash only to P.O. Box 6083 Key West, FL. 33041

Music:

I am music, or at least composed of music. Not just mine, but all... you figure it out.

Movies:

Action/adventure, comedies, documentaries mostly, but I'll watch almost anything once.

Television:

I try to stay away from TV, mostly out of an inpatience for commericals that interupt whatever I'm watching at the height of whatever is going on. Also because I can crack out on it for hours if given the opportunity and, there's just too many other things I'd rather do with my life.

Books:

Total history junkie and most non-fiction... I used to read a dictionary when I was bored, but I think I drank most of those brain cells away.

Heroes:

Indiana Jones and James Bond are pretty sweet...

Rest in peace brother

Kram was an original, a one of a kind. He was an open ear when I needed to bitch, comic relief when I felt like shit, and never once made me feel like anything less than a brother to him. I ...

You've got to kidding me... Check out this MSNB article I just read about spaceports for commerical sub-orbital adventure flights. Sounds like fun, who wants to go for a ride? http://www.msnbc.msn.co...

Understanding women (joke)

A third generation Cuban immigrant was walking along a Key West beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said, OK, OK. You released me fr...

The Pot -

As with most of Tools' songs, they can deliver a direct message and yet still leave much open for interpretation. It's obvious to me that this song is about... Unfair judicial systems (kangaroo courts...
