-Arson Investigation - About Me:
- - So Much has Changed and so much will still be changing.
nothing ever really stays the same, but i stick to who i am and what i stand for.
- I ACHIEVED SO MUCH, BUT IT NEVER CAME EASY, IT WAS THE FURTHEST THING FROM EASY AND I STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO, MY WORK HERE IS FAR FROM FINISHED

-People come and go in my life, but i got my few who will stick by me, and i stick by them
- My Trust is hard to earn,i only trust a few and who ever i have to to get what it is at hand done whether it be a job, education,or friendship. so if you gain it, don't lose it. Although i say this, i still am too much of a nice guy and will save your ass or be there at your lowest.though that doesn't mean i forget what lead to me not trusting you. My heart and Trust is always in the right place, my intentions are always good its just a matter of is yours?
I am one of the good guys, and good guys always come out 1 of 2 ways
On top or with their hearts broken
But the only way we come out on top is by learning from having our hearts broken...SO WE ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP!!!!!
-Now with that said

i am a huge Sox, Bears, and Buckeyes fan,
though i have my share of other teams i really like.
- i am very chill, but i am crazy too!!!!
- i like a little competition, its healthy!!!
i am not afraid of losing
because i always find a way or another to make up for it, and most of the time its twice if not more, bigger and better than before.
i like to push my luck, that's what its there for
