About Me

I'm 24 and feel pretty old. I recently graduated college with a degree in Political Science (oh so useful). I'm very much into cycling and I have 3 cats (Molly, Claire, and Phillip). Oh and I'm a big computer nerd but I'm hip, so that might explain why I work for Apple.Read more about me on my website, michaelbrown.info contact me on aim. my screenname is MY2Kchild

So much war, so much soul
One man's loss, another man's goal
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold

We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all

My Interests

cycling, music, apple computers, history, politics, fashion
