In a Nutshell:Quit shitty sales job, got stabbed in the back (right lung collapsed) days after quitting, hence no insurance, paying $200 a month even though that sucka is behind bars because our legal system sucks. Started running food, started event planning with Susan G. Komen, back in school...Slacker Productions is taking over, car paid for & bought a sick ass house. Weddings. Sports. If you want to know me here are 10 random facts, want more, ask me: 1) Popeye's #2 meal with spicy dark meat, dirty rice, biscuit w/honey and pecan pie and a root beer is delicious. 2) Apparently back in the day, my name was a verb meaning: to be a pirate...I knew it! 3) My cat Thomas can fetch. 4) I like girl magazines like InTouch and People. Whoa, that was tough to admit. 5) I have never been great at anything except being good at everything. 6) I smell everything. 7) My freshman year of college I played lacrosse and had to be hospitalized for my ulcers. The same day I got out, we had two run two miles timed. I won...by 30 seconds or so. 8) If I could camp and maintain hygeine, I'd do it every day. 9) I have saved peoples lives before. 10) I have watched someone die. There is always more room for excitement in my life. Excitement meaning random occasions of drunken cleaning, playing music, acting, picture taking and occasionally hosting events all of which don't happen nearly enough.
