About Me

this blog's just for random stuff. LJ's my more personal blog. let's see, i've got 3 piercings & 3 tattoos. (love those things) got more designed. if you know a good place to get 'em done, send me a message and hook me up. i tend to say exactly what's on my mind and that usually confuses and amuses them to no end. hey if you can't laugh at yourself, whatcha got left? i'm very open-minded, love trying anything new and i'm also pretty laidback. i'm an adventurous homebody and appreciate the little things in life the most. but if you've always gotta be better/right in everything, this is the wrong page for you. anyway, i'm just really real me. always good for a laugh and always up for a spontaneous road trip. oh yeah and i'd die for seats at a Yankees game.(grew up in NYC)here's a better way to learn about me. ask/add.

I'd like to meet:

anyone who says what's on their open mind. no bull. just the brutal truth...like George Carlin. =cP is that so hard? o_O and if you can laugh at yourself and life and go along with my quirky spontaneity and randomness (or you're an open-minded guy with a great sense of humor or a scottish accent), you're good in my book.
