About Me

Freaker at heart. Never one to fit in or want to. I can have fun ALMOST anywhere. I grew up in the sticks as a kid, and played with the big city nights as an "adult". I'm at my best when I'm in blue jeans and a t-shirt, I'm at my worst when I'm surrounded by fakes and snobs. I like to keep it simple, real, down to earth - and lets just leave it at that.

"For me, punk is about real feelings. It's not about, "Yeah, I am a punk and I'm angry." That's a lot of crap. It's about loving the things that really matter: passion, heart and soul." -- Joey Ramone 1997

My Interests

Music! Dancing! Drinking. Smoking. Laughing. Eating. Watching. Listening. Writing. Reading. Sleeping. Dreaming. Loving. And bologna and cheese sandwiches on white bread.

You're Special Agent Dale Cooper. You're often too
brilliant for people to really follow, but your
infectious enthusiasm makes up for the fact
that you're frequently incomprehensible. You
are smart, intuitive, clear-headed,
compassionate, and cute as hell -- about your
only flaw is your insane coffee consumption.
