Sid the Kid

I am Sidney Conklin. I was born in Nova Scotia, although I am not biologically Canadian. My mother, Rochelle, is from the Bronx and my father, Ryan, is from Pittsburgh, PA. Currently, I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh and I work at Starbucks. My mother is not with us anymore. She died when I was three from cancer. We lived in Nova Scotia until I was 4. My father decided he needed to be close to home to raise me on his own. My grandparents (Grammy and Paps Conklin) live 10 minutes from us in Pittsburgh. My dad is an event planner for just about everything except weddings. My mother, before she passed, was a florist.

Right now I'm pursing a degree in English, specifically creative writing. I write songs and play the acoustic guitar and piano, for now. I look up to artists like Michelle Branch and Alicia Keys not only for their musical talent, but for their pride in themselves as women.

I have a golden retriever named Duke who is five years old and a fish tank full of exotic creatures. I know Italian fluently and will be visiting Italy for ten days really soon. I love to travel. I love seeing and embracing other cultures.

I'm usually really busy, so I haven't been able to keep up with my facebook or myspace page, but the links are below. If they don't work properly, just search for me!

First off, I want to see pictures of the dog cause dogs are the best way to meet people. Outside that I like where its going, just needs some beef to create a story. By the way sucks that her mom died
