Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

About Me

I pretty much do everything to the extreme. I just don't believe in doing anything half heartedly. Sometimes this proves to be my downfall, but I don't plan on changing anytime soon. I was always told to strive for greatness ao thats what I do.I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, the greatest place on earth.Im a constant dreamer, and I believe that with enough effort and passion "everything" is possible. When someone tells me I "can't" do something all it does is drive me even more. I have been called stubborn which I take as the highest of compliments. Because if you believe in what your doing; or how you feel, than why change it.Im extremely passionate about world politics to the point of obssesion. It is what it is. My political views vary from right to left, but for the most part Im a liberal. Im a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. And to all the right wing conservatives out their. NO that doesnt meen Im a communist or a fascist. I simply beleive that in the richest country in the world nobody should have to live without their basic needs being met. Is that the responsibilty of the government? YES!Thats about all I have to say about that. Love Life! myspace graphics & layouts
