About

Let's see- I am one of those people Y'know the quiet guy in the corner that seems a little off? The guy that you get the feeling could be your best friend or worst nightmare come to life? Yeah that's my evil twin- but this isnt about him this is about me. So- Me in a nutshell- My mind is like a kaleidoscope- the image is distorted until you get the right angle- so at the end of the day, its all in how you look at it- I've done a lot of things in a short time span. Seen alot too. Learned a little too much in some categories- less than I want to in others. So I take the good with the bad and accept what i am- human by design, honest by nature, humane by choice, and funny because if i ever stopped laughing...well let's not talk about that stuff. I find life to be the most hysterical and ironic collection of misfits ever assembled in one place- oh not you of course- I meant the other misfits out there. So thats me in a nutshell- to find the real me try asking the right questions- you may not get the answers you were hoping for- but rest assured the answers will be honest...
