About Me

Simple, like a veggie sandwich. But twice as handsome. I am a metrosexual bowler, with a strike average of under 5%. My forte is that I pick up a lot of spares. A lot. I have always wanted to conduct science experiments in space. I run like two girls, back to back, yet side by side as well. One facing forward, the other backward... I see the whole playing field is what I'm telling you. I play drums and so enjoy practising counting by 5's to 10, while maintaining a strict diet of assorted fossil fuels. I really want to go to the next Telemiracle and conceive my first born, Telemiracle Wilson, and pledge my child's life to Satan on air.
