About Me


"If it was real progression we'd give back what we stole." - Unbroken
Ok... New year, so new words- right? RIGHT!
I'm almost 29, I love my job- working with kids is one of the best things I can thing of, plus I get paid to go on field trips; I love music, I care about animals- Alot, I also care about my friends a lot too.
I'm still getting old, but I'm not old. I'm STILL straight edge, STILL vegan and I don't plan on changing those things, I think I'm a pretty fun and nice guy too. You know, easy going. You be the judge of that.
I have a lot to say & i'm still trying to find ways to say it all. I love my friends. We're all crazy, funny, dumb, smart, aware, sad, happy, in love- as Black Cross says "we're all alone, broken hearted and insane."
life is yours, live it.
