You really crank my tractor.

About Me

I am grudgingly caving in to peer pressure and creating a MySpace page.A few basic things to know about me:I grew up on a farm outside of Owensboro, Kentucky. I attended Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. Majored in Industrial Design, which means I now spend my days working for the man, doodling out new product ideas. I have lived in 7 states: Kentucky, Illinois, North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, and now Virginia. Recently relocated to the incredibly cosmopolitan city of Winchester, VA from Atlanta when my job in the ATL was cut. I work for a company that makes mops, trash cans, and tons of other plastic stuff. I hate people that do not get out of the fast lane when I want to pass. I'm nerdy. My family rocks. I'm a Christian, but I won't push my beliefs on you. I've learned that the more closely you follow the plan God wants you to take, the smoother life seems to run. If you want to know more about what I believe, just ask! I'm Southern, but not stupid. And yes, that is possible.-

I'm pretty sure the girls in the banner ads for "True" are strippers. Any other guesses?
