About Me

Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0 %D%A%D?espite the picture posted in my profile, I'm a regular person with different facets and of course, dreams. Some of those dreams include being a business owner, a landlord, playing in a band, becoming a better cook and a better person.

%D%A%D%AI feel like life is very precious and that I am blessed to live the life that I do. I think that sometimes here in the states and in other developed countries we take our abundant liefstyles for granted, and forget to appreciate our freedoms and luxuries in the great pursuit of MORE. There are millions of people throughout the world for whom a hot shower, clean drinking water, and a toilet are luxuries. I am not free of material wants by any means, I just feel like sometimes we need to stop and appreciate what we already have. %D%A%D%A..
