He's stolen hearts like they're horses, and horses when hearts can't be found

About Me


My Interests

This is the current "Most Tattoed Man." His reign won't last long, if I have my say.

Music:

Annie Clark, aka, The New Hotness

Movies:

Made me want to have monsters under my bed.

Television:

I couldn't handle retail and espionage. I just couldn't.

Books:

Go to my store and buy this book. I staff picked it and it's not selling. I'm beginning to look like an asshole.

Heroes:

Played Rocky's son and dates an 18 year old. He's my real life hero.

A Message for the Girl Who Hurt My Feelings Monday Night

"You're an idiot," said the 15 year old girl wearing shin guards and the stink of suburban youth angst.What did I do to deserve this? All I did was not tell her the location of a scavenger hunt item. ...
