By a round of applause, how do you feel? By a round of applause - she's not clapping!

I'm interested in doing anything and everything that I can to squeeze the creativity out of my brain. I guess I'm kind of a performance rat, that's what I want to do, I love being on stage if I'm not on a set. I just love putting creativity into a performance.
I am an observer, I like to watch people. I am into psychology and people - how they act and such.
The little boy inside of all us men always loves something video game related.
Let's talk a little about love. Sometimes you meet somebody and you have what is known as a relationship and things can go great. If things go great you have a great relationship. Sometimes it doesn't go so great and I call that a relationshit!
