About Me

about me? what about me? there's not much that's too exciting. i'm kind of old, but not too old. considering that the average age of myspace users is about middle school, i guess i'm pretty old. crap, i'm stinking ancient compared to most of you. i think i have about 3 friends on here that are older than me. is that pathetic? wait, dont answer that. i know, i know. Jesus still loves me though, i recon that's enough. the summer of 2002 i began to realize this "God thing" is a lot bigger than i thought it was, nothings been the same since. about me? ahhh, you can figure me out, i'm not that complicated...
