when the world looks at me, I want them to see You

About Me



I am Pro-Life.

I believe that the ultimate tribute to the character of a man is the number and quality of his friends. I don't mean myspace friends, I mean real friends, people you you laugh with and cry with and drive with and hang out with and eat with and go away with, people you confide in, listen to, support, and Love. God has blessed me with many friends, and I love them. I'm loyal, friendly, and I have a lot of love to give. That is who I am.

My Interests



I'm obsessed with England.

I'd like to meet:



Utterly Amazing People
I have brilliant friends.
