About Me

My name's Calen Smith, I'm a radical Native Floridian, I'm 23 years old and pretty laid back. I prefer to learn history by living it. I drink coffee hot or cold, throughout the day. I like fine Diplomatico Rum, Smooth Mackeson Stout, anything remotely nautical and any band that blends traditional folk musics with punk rock. I love any sound made by Accordions, from haunting Cajun Waltzes to rousing Celtic Jigs to shrilling Tex-Mex tunes. St. Augustine's probably the greatest city I know of, even though I was born in scummy Daytona Beach, but raised up in lovely Seville, Florida where my families been for around 200 years. Yeah, we were here long before that bastard Disney moved in with his rat and ruined everything. So for those of you who actually care, this is my profile. ..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor
