About Me

    MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds

What's good, world? The name's Robin, but most folks call me awesome. After 10 years in the great state of California, I've been back in Jacksonville for a year and a half. I'm currently working on my MBA and doing my 9 - 5 bid in the pharmaceuticals industry. I'm into music, handsome dudes, politics, and a few other things. I started getting into jazz (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, etc) kinda recently, so I'm having fun with that. I'm also learning to play the acoustic guitar. It's challenging, but I'm up for it. In my short time on earth, I've met a lot of great people and done some interesting shit, so I'm hoping to keep that going out here. Join up.
