I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

When I was 3 my brother tried to flush me down the toilet.."Just to see if it would work." It didn't. I'm still here. At age 7, he chased me while holding a horned Toad to see if it would "spit blood in my eye"...I ran, tripped over a box, and got a sharp stick, stuck in my eye. In my defense, I used to kick him in the nards as hard as I could. BAM! (He's older, taller, bigger than me)Enter Karma. I now have 4 awesome nieces and nephews with no signs of head trauma and I have none. (I love you Big Bro, More than you know) My first car was a 1966 Impala. Dad said, "Now don't go sneaking out and drivin' it just yet. Somethin' shakes in the front end. Just wait boy and we'll fix it." I didn't. I snuck out, got halfway to "Main Street" (the local cruise spot)and then CACHUGA CACHUGA CACHUGA! The car shook so violently I damned near lost a filling and some brain fluid! I never snuck out again. Remember I mentioned Karma? I believe in it. I've been bitten in the patoot by it more than once. I have a great group of friends. I believe you shoud say one nice thing to everyone you meet. Unless of course they're just a jerk, then...call them a "jerkface". Old people have the best stories. Even if they really didn't do all they say? It's still a great yarn to listen to. I make mistakes. Not intentionally, but I do It's called being human. And the great thing is, is you're reading this, then chances are you are too... I will look you dead in the eye when I meet you and shake your hand. I expect the same in return. I'm looking to build my next project. I now have a 57 Chevy named "Maybelline" it needs a LOT of make-up! For those that know me, I'm a perfectionist, so expect it to be cool.

My Interests

Just being able to smile and laugh at myself...laugh when I trip over my own feet. Spending time with friends and people i trust. Building my car and looking forward to building many more. Spending time and showing with my Car and Truck Club SEVERED TIES and our brotherhood club NEGATIVE CAMBER.

I'd like to meet:

Might be easier to say who I don't wanna meet? So here goes. *MY TOP 10 No-No's* 1. If you wear Fight Gear shirts, ie; Tapout, Knockout, Blowout, whatever, and you've never even been in a ring? Don't request me (for more see #2) 2.You're not a cage fighter. She won't believe that line with that beer gut anyway. 2. If you think swap meets are for white AND brown trash and "They have icky stuff there...IT'S USED!?!" nah 3. If you wanna know the size of my bank account, what car I drive (It's a truck) or why I'm not wearing designer pants? buh-bye 4. You strategically trim your facial hair like your trimming a bonsai tree. 5. You rent an apartment and Lease a BMW, Mercedes..yada yada (enter yuppie mobile here.) If you earned it then, My mistake, props to you. 6. If you think tattoos are just for Sailors. 7. You have an addicition to Booger Sugar...nope. 8. You think the Hills is "The Best Show Ever!" 9. Your goal is to marry for money (This include you Cougar Hunters too) 10. You have absolutley no sense of humor. Simple right? Oh and Meet Kate Beckinsale...she doesn't know it yet but she digs me!
MySpace LayoutsAnyone who can be themselves and by that I mean don't try too hard.Other custom car and truck people. and people with like interests... In short, be real and we'll be friends for life. That is of course you're an asshole, then we probably won't get along.Connect with old friends and make new ones. Just be cool, be yourself, and we'll get along great!
