About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
What up people, I'm a super cool ska kid from the burbs in Vegas. I'm straight edge, but if you arent thats cool too. I like to think of myself as a really accepting person because religion, race, or creed dont matter to me as long as you are a good person. I love reggae, ska, and swing music; along with what ever else you throw at me. I love to skate with my buddies, and do what ever i feel like. I'm totally in with the out croud. I'm a huggge Notre Dame fan but I'm going to Oregon State University. Go Beavers! I'm Irish, Catholic, and proud, so dont mess with me. Talk to me if you dare.
