Garito's Page Words Of Wisdom
Hello my name is Edgar Armando Alvarez Jr. If you are still reading I hope that you are not drunk, stoned, or high so that you will read everything bellow this paragraph. The reason that I decide to make a page is because my friend Sam made one so I decided to folow in his lead.I cant promise you that this will be a very cool site because it talks about my life and if you know me you would understand that my life isnt that exiting.
Inspired by the recent visit of ONE person I have decided to send special thanks to those who visit my page. So hats off to you Adrian Passdar-Shirazi for being the first in a long long time to adventure into this dark realm.
I have also decided to lose the intro where I talk about myself, because let's be reasonable who the heck cares. If in any remote case you are still interested in learning about me, then you are free to ask me in person.
In the next paragraph I will list all my friends for no particular reason. I am afraid that in this page I am not going to be able to list all my friends because they are so many. But I will make a paragraph of some of my friends. The order is just how they come to mind so don't worry if you're the last one.
