About Me

Am I supposed to make this all up? or can i copy and paste this from friendster?ummmI am the love child of Joe Hill and Corky St. Clair, with a body like arnold and a denzel face. Actually, i should explain that my hair in real life doesn't look like my hair in the picture. It was wet in that picture. I'm writing this so that those who know me don't fear that my hair is falling out and so those who meet me in the future aren't afraid by my thicker wavier hair. OK. Now we're all on the same page.Really though, I made a documentary on Spain's largest monument, The valley of the Fallen, which was built under Franco by political prisoners. I'm in a hip-pop folk band called mutha nature's grrrl. I'm lead vocals and rainstick. Our version of Toxic is to die for. See us before we blow up and you can't afford us.
