About Me

THIS IS AWESOME. . .And MORE DANCING!
I like chocolate. . . In my spare time I like to hunt the magestic Yeti, ride my blue ox, and play fetch with my goldfish Shep. I enjoy drinking cheap wine while eating boxes and boxes of raw Kraft Mac N Cheese. I am a multi-talented individual as I can hum "Deep in the Heart of Texas" while gargling water, skeet shooting, and riding a unicycle.
I am 3% Idiot.
.. I am not annoying at all. In fact most people come to me for advice. Of course they annoy the hell out of me. But what can I do? I am smarter than most people. Take the
Idiot Test
