Without friction there's no heat, without heat there can't be fire, without fire there's no desire

About Me


I really miss this guy.
The world was a better place with Jerry in it.

My Interests

Live music, hanging with my friends and family. Staying stoked with my Hackensaw brethren! Staying stacked with the Hobos! Keeping it free and easy with the Four Horsemen from Kalamazoo!
