Truth Be My Sactuary

About Me

Born and raised Austin, Texan... Perhaps not the best driver, but I change my own tires...thank you very much. by the beautiful Andrea Burden ............................................................ .................. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

It's ALL v-e-r-y interesting...I like old things (especially oak trees), my bed, my guitar, yoga, ice cream, books, cemetaries, thunder and lightning, the smell of rain, night sounds, the moon reflecting off water, coffee & cigarettes, blood, dead birds, travel, art, critters, wilderness, the people I love...all the little things that make us smile.

I'd like to meet:

Bonnie and Clyde...and Gus...naturally............................................. ......
