I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm former military, just a normal guy with a slight bad boy streak in me. That's the only way I can describe myself. Any questions? Hit me up and I'll answer them all. Life is an open book, I've got nothing to hide. I'm just me. Nothing more, nothing less. What you see is what you get.
No, I'm not an indie guy. No, I'm not a club kid. No, I'm not a gym bunny. No, I'm not a wannna-be. I'm just me. Jeans and t-shirt wearin', all around average guy lookin' to live my life with as little complications as possible. Love me or hate me. Like me or leave me.

Goodbye Elliot...

Well, tonight was the night that Elliot Yamin (my favorite AI contestant) left the competition. I must admit, I'm really pretty sad. It was so close, though. He only "lost" by .2 points. He's still a ...
