I write, I co-run a site, I blog and I PA around the city. Needless to say, I'm the typical Jamaican Southern California resident. I think I'm funny, but I also know I'm an asshole. The most common response I receive: "You're not who I thought you were." Anyways, I'm sure I'm boring you now so I'll call it a day.
God(dess) bless my heritage...
Who I'd like to meet: My soul mate... where ever she may be...
