About Me

Jonathan Holmes. 17. Senior. Class of 2008. I am: -a boy who hasn't hit his stride quite yet -a nutjob when baseball and football season approaches -a lover of poetry and writer of its beautiful, yet powerful and haunting language -a loveable (if not dorky) friend -a bit of an anime geek (sue me) -a hard-core movie-lover -a pissed off seventeen year-old who's no friend of the Bush Administration -a proud supporter of Barack Obama for President. I have a blogsite I manage to write on whenever I can: Jonathan's Corner . Check it out sometime. PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile

My Interests
