Just plain ol' Josh

Yes, I am smoking cigarettes and some of my friends have died of them, but I am not downing a quart

About Me

These things never come off as sounding original and most of the people who do read this already know me. But those that don't, I grew up in Chicago until I was 15 moved when I moved to Columbus Ohio. I spent damn near another 15 years of my life in Columbus or Ohio in General. I've been living in Charlotte for just over a year now. I've had fun and met some cool people but I'm always looking for a good time.
