I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am currently a non traditional student a Clarion University of PA majoring in English with a writing concentration and minoring in film studies. I enjoy smoking pipes and cigars (favorite pipe tobacco: Choice English, favorite cigar: Henry Clay Brevas Finas). I am a record collector ( have over 2000 records and about 500 cds 50% of which is unreleased live recordings and studio outtakes of some of my favorite artists) and I enjoy all kinds of music from classical to death metal to punk to jazz and all the other styles in between (except country, Johnny Cash and the Grateful Dead are about as country as I get and emo, Husker Du is about as emo as I get). I also enjoy engaging in conversations of all kinds I tend to revel in the company of my friends (both old and new) and I will give anyone a fair shake as long as I receive in kind.
