El Adam!

This is a city for not sleeping, the clocks are set by feel.

About Me

According to my friend Cindy A., I am a wonderful mix of man, t-shirts, and baggy pants. A guy with an upbeat nature that's great to talk to, that excels at cheering people up.This is how my friend Tiffany L. recently described me: "You are a caring, thoughtful, and loving person; witty, charming, funny and playful; full of humanity and wisdom, mistakes and moments of glory."This is how I describe myself:
I'm one of those guys that is usually the best friend in the movie with tons of music, comic book, movie and tv knowledge. Someone you can always turn to if you ever need to talk or anything like that, the man that will make you laugh til you cry. I'm the guy that seems to know almost everybody because he is just that likeable, that's me. I enjoy taking pictures with friends in photo booths, it makes for fun memories. I like pancakes.

My Interests

I love the music! listening to it, playing it and doing whatever else I can to it! hanging out, chillin with my ferret, watching good dvds, ping pong, air hockey, scrabble, eating, sleeping, goofin around, and all in all having a good time, making sure people are laughing.

I'd like to meet:

I'm a people person, so anyone I guess.
