I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i'd rather have a bouquet of venus fly traps than a bouquet of roses, i'd rather have a skull ring than a diamond ring, i'd rather go camping than stay in a bed and breakfast, i'd rather have a can o' hamms than a glass of champagne, and i'd rather drive down a desert highway in an old beat up truck than ride in a limo in the city.
