About me: i put in work! i'm a lover, not a fighter, but i'll still beat your ass if u push me far enough. look but don't touch, motherfucker, think twice. i'm a writer, a dancer, and a soccer player. i'm one of the best friends you'll ever have. i'll find any excuse to laugh. i love men: i luv the way they walk, i luv the way they talk, i luv the way are so insecure way deep down on the inside. i'm cool and calm at all times, unless i see some type of injustice, at which point i have no self-control. i want to learn something from every person that crosses my path. i love music--any kind, as long as its sincere and can move my body and my heart. music is my escape; i curl up between the notes and let it carry me. i don't smoke, drink or get high, even tho i get asked at least once a day if i'm high or drunk. trust me, i'm not. i figure people must get high to get where i'm at. i'm constantly searching for something to hold my interest.

Just over here trying to get all of the dots connected before xmas comes. Trying to be optimistic, you know... Hopefully the economy doesn't hinder sells! Either way, it's the journey that I'm enjoying the most. If you are still going to get some for your folks, tell me before you place the order. I'll do my best to make it comfortable for you being that you are overseas. Cool?
