    I got sunshine, in a bag
    I'm useless, but not for long
    My future is coming on



    MySpace Countdown Clocks



    ..

    1. I Smoked for 15 years, quit 11 years ago.

    2. I Went back to school and earned my Associates Degree! We should all strive to learn something every day. I am working toward my Bachelors degree and will be at SDSU in 2009.

    3. I do not group people into races, et al. People are different than each other in every possible way. Variety is the spice of life and mine is no different when it comes to what and who I spend my time with.

    4. "Taking life seriously will only get you laughed at by others, Taking it as a joke, you get to laugh along with them". It is so easy to link who I am with what I do. But we are all more than the sum of our actions. I KNOW I am a GREAT person.

    5. As much as I'd rather go places and do things with others, I am equally content with doing my own thing on my own. Yes, I'm a loser loner. (psst, I'm ok with that) :)

    6. I've been told I have sexy eyes.

    Who I'd like to meet:
    Meet is the key word. If you look at my friends, you will notice that they are either Novelty/Comedy/Dementia Music Groups or They Live within 25 miles of the City of San Diego (or I knew them FROM San Diego). I am not sad that I have less friends in my list than most people on Myspace, Mine are mostly local to me, and I can actually drive to see them IN PERSON and still make it work the same day. I'd like to meet more people in my area, especially those who love to learn.
