Myspace Comments | Myspace Graphics | Myspace SurveysFIRST OFF - YES. I am a white guy who is married to a black woman. If you have a problem with that, its your problem. Dont email me with your narrowminded, bigoted BS or I may show up in your town and kick your little white-robed butt back into the stone age in which you are already living in in your mind. Thanks for playin'. Am self employed and live in Charleston, SC. Am a music freek...play gtr/keys/bass....have a degree in recording engineering, but somehow got into the newspaper business. What you see is what you get. I dont care about impressing you, unless you are a potential BIG advertising client. Not much for pretense. I LOVE walking through the old cemetaries in Charleston, taking pics and reading stones! LOVE college football. Go Cocks. Really want to travel the world, but have bills to pay, so thats on hold for now. Listen to everything from Matthew Ryan, to Megadeth, to Journey, to the Sisters of Mercy, to Catherine Wheel, and everything in between. Am married to the beautiful girl in the pic with me with the braids! Dont know how I pulled that one off, but glad I did. And am now the father of the PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL little girl who is now a year old, named Riley Annalisse that you see plastered all over my profile. And I DID SAY "PERFECT"!
