About Me

Let's be friends, you and me.

Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you.
-Psalms 139:23-24

I like to think I am somewhat funny sometimes.

Love many, trust few. Learn to paddle your own canoe.

I use colorful language.


Sometimes I'm surprised by my own naivete', because I consider myself fairly worldly.

I love the rush of getting tattooed.

-they call me a hippie-

"I think everybody should like everybody."
-Andy Warhol
