My Interests

Watchin them cars drive around in circlesEating Pancakes. Racing Karts Skateboarding, Surfing,runnin, riding long distances on my HOG, Ya I like fast cars and fast women as long as there name is Gayle Rachtman. I like me some loud fast music but can kick it with some ol crooners too. If you can dig it cool. If you cant I really dont care. . I am far from lazy. I like scary horror flicks. I like it when I hear a new band that blows me away but dont send me your cd I probably wont listen to it. Ya know them VH1 countdown shows Im on. I do it because that stuff is fun for me. I appreciate different forms of art It might be on the wall at Musee de Louvre in Paris or tattooed on someones back. It could be a classic car maybe a graphic novel. I appreciate things that cause a reaction
