soul searching at four-twenty...

soul searching at four-twenty...

today is april 20. and it's my birthday... gee... it's great to finally be 18! i'm finally of legal age! life is indeed great! hahaha...

anyway, as i was soul searching today (and coincidentally surfing the net as well), by some twist of fate, i found myself staring at the computer screen, viewing a site which claims to be able to reveal to me what or who i was in my past life!

so rather skeptically (yeah right), i tried it out and lo and behold, the freakin' site actually hit the bullseye!

Quiz Me
Nikko was
a Well-Dressed Rock Star
in a past life.

hahaha... see what i've always told you guys... can you see it!?! i always knew i had it in me! I always knew that it was an innate characteristic within me that no one could and can take away. and I know without a shadow of a doubt that it's only a matter of time until my destiny as a rock star... and a well-dressed one no less... becomes a reality!

so watch out ya'll... nikko's comin' to rock your world!
