My Interests

I love Jesus... I love my girlfriend... I love to write comedy... I usually write poetry when I want to make sense of life... I love to shop at Trader Joe's... I love to watch my friend's face cringe when he watches me drink soy milk... I love to collect old action figures, mostly Transformers & Thundercats cause they didn't snap as easily as G.I. Joe's... I love to watch Old School Pro Wrestling and follow it... I love to write snail mail as I feel it is a lost art... I love my Chihuahua, Zelda (whom I named after the 2nd game because it took me 20 years to finally beat it, so I vowed to name her after it...) I love video games but I have to be in the mood to play them, which is like every 6 months... I love vegetarian sandwiches despite the fact I'm not a vegetarian and get asked if I'm one every time I order one... I can't believe you're still reading!!!

An Open Letter to Myspace Bands/Organizations...

I don't understand the mentality of the "NO NAME" or even "BIG NAME" myspace bands. I only add them if I like them and to network some, and if they refuse to add me or any other artist, they're never...
