I am here for Friends

About Me


Hmm... on a descriptive note- I'm of the male persuasion, tattooed, got brown hair, hazel eyes... well, you can see my pics, right? Rumor has it that I'm a pretty rad guy. When I'm not on grand adventures in MMOGs I snowboard, hike, jump from high places into large bodies of water, hang out with friends, listen to music, cruise around, watch movies, and I'm really just a total bum the rest of the time. I like to write (I'm an English major) and I'm a wannabe artist and musician. Oh yeah... and my name is Sam. If you wanna know more just let me know, or you can read through my multitude of bloggage.

My Interests
