Well, I'm from and live in the Pacific Northwest. I did live in the middle east during the late 70's and early 80's. Came back to the states mid 80's and became a hairdresser. Love my job, love my life. I am very passionate about what I believe. I love to argue and I'm ALWAYS right. Ok, maybe I'm not always right.
