Just rollin through life, destination unknown...

About Me

I'm "High Above Sin City" almost daily- I work as a tower crane operator building various casinos and condominium towers, it's not some funky drug reference or anything. My main hobby is my interest in old cars. When Im not chasing down deals on, attempting to restore, or preventing the towing of classic vehicles, I kick it with a few friends and/or my brothers and have a few drinks on the weekend. My bros are fellow car enthusiasts- B's the Cadillac master, and J's got a '65 Chevy pickup that I hope to someday equal with my '63 GMC. In the house or in the car I play my music way too loud. I tend to keep to myself unless I know you well, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to have fun. I'm very goal-oriented, not always the RIGHT goal and sometimes to the exclusion of all else, but I guess everybody goes through that, right?. I'm also very careful about who I call a friend, but if you're on that short list you can believe I've got your back 110%(a phrase I 'borrowed' from a friend). I gave up smoking on December 31st, but the drinking has increased a bit since lol. Sometimes it seems like I'm always at work, but Im basically living my life like I always wanted to- in the early 90's. Call me old school, throwback, weirdo, whatever. The exception is my precious (and precocious) little princess, my daughter Dia. She's the most important person in the world, has an amazing grasp of sarcasm for 8 years old, and is my smartass genius-in-training :). I live with her and my sister Ivy Murder, tattooed all over, more piercings than I can keep track of, aspiring musician, closet intellectual, and one of the most big-hearted people I know.Unconventional, but finally somewhat stable, I couldn't ask for a better family.I made this page so I could talk to friends who r on Myspace, so dont hate. Its a work in progress
