See you all Tuesday

RIP

I don’t wanna live here no more. [audio:12_Cali_Swangin'.mp3|autostart=yes|loop=yes]

I’m a 20 year old single white male.  I live in Duluth with three of my friends from my home town of Anoka.  I like to snowboard in the winter and play softball and go to the beach.  I listened to classic rock and some rap music.  Thats about it. Drop a line.
