About Me

My name is Daniel Perry Greenwood. I was born on August 1st, 1975 in Charleston, South Carolina. I still consider it my second hometown. I currently live in good ole St. Paul, Minnesota. My dad once said that the road begins in Oregon and ends in Ohio. I like to look at life that way. I do like Minnesota and South Carolina, but the bronze medal most certainly goes to Iowa. My home and my birthplace lie in the far north and the deep south, yet my true passion lies in the land of corn. I once made cheese in Iowa. I watched the most down to earth guy show me how to get turkeys to call back when you goggle at them. Iowa is the land of agriculture. I've never met someone from Iowa that I didn't like. My great aunt is buried in Des Moines and my grandparents used to live there. God bless my great aunt. She had the courage to go to Brazil and make my family part Brazilian. That's pretty gosh darn cool of her to do that. Most of my Brazilian relatives live in Miami nowadays though. But getting back to Iowa, I, Daniel Perry Greenwood, do hereby soundly swear that I am a current member for life of the Iowegian Cafeteria Cottage Cheese Coalition or more bluntly put, the ICCCC. We are a private, non-profit organization based in Melville, Iowa at Alfonzo's depot liquor store. Our mission is to promote Iowegian culture and heritage through the luctrative trades of cottage cheese, cafeterias, elevator music, YMCA swimming pools and triple x movies and hourly rates. When I'm not working tirelessly for the ICCCC, I play the drums and guitar for various bands throughout the Twin Cities. MyGen Profile Generator
