The Only Bob

You have more issues than I care to deal with.

About Me


My name is Robert Edward Howard, born April 29th, 1984. I grew up in eastern Massachusetts, about a half hour outside of Boston. I moved to central Mass. in 1996, and have lived there ever since. When I was a kid, I used to dream about being a wrestling champion. I've also always loved sharks, ever since first seeing "Jaws" when I was about 6. I tend to be a cynic, but in reality I am very fortunate and blessed. My life hasn't always been fantastic, or even good at times, but I'm thankful for every minute of it. It's made me who I am today, and I wouldn't change very many things about that. I wish people could understand me more, as it often seems my words and actions are misinterpreted. I live for creativity. Nothing makes me happier than freedom of expression--a liberty far too many seem to take for granted these days. I have many more thoughts to share, but I will not say them here.
If you want to contact me, it's not hard. Either send me a message through MySpace, or get in touch with me on AIM. If you're really important, you can also get me on my cell.
I now give you--inspired by "Matt facts"--Bob facts.
