PDK a man unknown

Hey, if your not too bright and haven’t noticed my names Kyle Kalusa. Nicknamed by a few of my friends as Goal Boy, Pimp Daddy Kalusa (PDK), Kjkalu, Asulak, or just Kalusa. I was born 17 years ago on March 11, 1990. In the best place in the world San Diego, California. I love that place more than any other! I’m no Georgia fan and I will never be one. It’s just not me. I lived in Chicago for a while in loved it there too, just as much as San Diego almost. I’m in JROTC program at Northview High (Ladies love a man in uniform), and I’m right now a junior there. I love to run and swim and enjoy doing all sorts of physical training daily. To me my friends are truly the greatest thing I hold dear in my life. They are my family and I love them for that. After High School I plan to go to college and earn a degree in Criminal Justice and then join the United States Navy or Marines. My dream job is to attain a career as a United States Navy S.E.A.L. after the service I hope to join the Secret Service or FBI or CIA and from there hopefully maybe have a family. An thats pretty much Kyle Kalusa, or Pimp Daddy K.

Yeah Huck Finn freaking rocks man!!!
