A unique piece of human DNA is me. Piss-taker. Enjoy a fun-loving good time (oddly enuf). Adventurous. Anti-establishment. Amiable though. Born a punk rocker - that's the 0.1% difference that makes me 99% different to society. 0.9% the same as any other person. An outcast without being an outlaw. Talkative and tenacious. A tease at times. Outrageous. Original. Eccentric.
