"I was born a poor, black man..."--The Jerk..Not really. Well I'm currently a biology student at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I hope to one day be a podiatrist (yeah, I know, but I like feet) or other doctor with low stress situations. We'll see I guess; I'm kinda lazy. Plus I've always dreamed of being a showgirl in Vegas.
I love music, but I unfortuneately have absolutely NO musical talent. I'm pretty much tone deaf, but I do have rhythm. I can dance, and I love to do it. I took dance class for 11 years, and I'm now on the dance team at Viterbo. For fun I sometimes try to get out and check out the local music scene.
Mandy, my best friend, has become a part of my heart that's permanently stamped. We just mesh well and have that whole yin-yang thing going. She's stubborn, high-maintenance, and bossy--I love her to death. Mandy somehow always surprises me at the oddest moments, and she always lets me be myself, no matter how strange I may be. I'm also pretty close with her sister Tana who is a year older than us. Tana is one of the wisest people I know. She rules with her head and lives by her heart. Their family has become my second family, and now it's at the point where I just show up unexpectedly regardless of whether or not someone is there.
My own family's kind of weird. My mom and dad aren't old, but they think they are. Mom's a dork, and I'm going to be just like her when I'm middle-aged. Dad's going through a mid-life crisis that started when he was 25. He still hopes to become a rock star. My sister is ten years older than I am, and it's been nice to have the guidance there without the discipline. Kim's also a lot of fun. She had her first child in August. I'm looking forward to teaching Paige naughty words and buying her tap shoes. |
