Without fear, favor, or affection

About Me

I was born in Chicago, move to Indianapolis with my family and grew up on the North side (Nora). I now live and work in downtown Indy. I'm the worlds worst procrastinator, but I do my best work under pressure, just have faith and I'll pull amazing things off. I'm a hopeless romantic. My friends are like my family, and my family I keep as close as friends. I have two dogs; Sophie & George. Ive been playing music for 15 years now. For 10 years I would wear only Converse shoes (now owned by Nike). I would much rather be hot than cold. I'm cynical as fuck. I like to think I'm funny and have a good sense of humor. I can't stand this right wing Neo-con Government that has our country in the grips of fear, and uses it to start unjust wars, pass ridiculous laws and uses religion to push there political agenda.THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS NEATHER RELIGIOUS NOR RIGHT!I'm a wannabe Photographer (click on thumbnails for larger image)
