I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Figured it was about time to change/update this shit. Teaching full-time now at Logan. Moving along, have my own room (basically) and just enjoying it all. Soccer gonna start up again in a month or so, which means long ass days. But gotta do what makes ya happy right? Got my own place in Fremont, stayin' in more than usual, makes me feel old damnit; but what ya gonna do? Got a career now, ya know? Just still tryin' to educate my kids and myself. Doing a lot more on racism and how it effects us all even if we don't see it this year. Have to try and open some minds up a bit more. It pisses me off that kids can go through High School and never even discuss the shit that will really effect their daily lives when they get out.

My Interests

Clubs, Soccer, Football, my 05 Mustang GT (Check the pics Foolio!), learning new shit, tryin' my best to educate, Las Vegas, Craps, SHRiNKAGE Website!

I'd like to meet:

New and old folks who can hold a conversation about shit going on in the world today and who care about more than the next club or party going down. I am down to party, but it shouldn't be all we think about or do with our lives.

Music:
