About me: I used to be disgusted but now I'm just amused. Once I let go, life became much better, The air became much clearer and the grass was much greener than I had envisioned on the other side. Screw whatever religion, guru, psych or TV show host says otherwise.
I'd like to make you my friend but I'm exclusive. I don't want to hear from people with nada in common that want to get their numbers up. Go hit up "Tom" I'm sure he'll hook you up.
If I friend you PLEASE dont put a trite "thanks for add picture or band logo" I'll just delete it. This is how we do it.
Also opportunists beware: I've no urge to peep your "exclusive webcam". To quote Notorious BIG: "Come come now, why you so dumb now?"
Only real humans represent.
Not dissing any inhumans that want to.
lifes too short, eh?
Who I'd like to meet: People I used to know. People I should get to know.
People who dig drawing, music, and being a freak on the low. We'll compare and contrast weirdities.

omg...I JUST got this comment. I don't check myspace anymore, because I use Facebook more. Your comment made me tear up. She would have been so grateful to have known that her name was read. Thank you so much! It really is the world's loss. She was one of the few genuinely good people. I never knew her to be spiteful or try to hurt anyone. She just wanted everyone that she cared about to be happy. That included you. <3
Hey the Forthrights are going on tour with the Green Room Rockers! Come see the most wicked Reggae tour of the summer near you!! East Coast Midwest style. Check our dates.
