Everything on time and for a reason

About Me

I used to be disgusted but now I'm just amused. Once I let go, life became much better, The air became much clearer and the grass was much greener than I had envisioned on the other side. Screw whatever religion, guru, psych or TV show host says otherwise.I'd like to make you my friend but I'm exclusive. I don't want to hear from people with nada in common that want to get their numbers up. Go hit up "Tom" I'm sure he'll hook you up.If I friend you PLEASE dont put a trite "thanks for add picture or band logo" I'll just delete it. This is how we do it.Also opportunists beware: I've no urge to peep your "exclusive webcam". To quote Notorious BIG: "Come come now, why you so dumb now?"Only real humans represent. Not dissing any inhumans that want to. lifes too short, eh?
