My last name is Schoonmaker its dutch. Basically i have heard that it either means boat maker or ship maker which is a noble profession and pretty cool and would explain my love for nautical movies. But we have also heard that it means street sweeper or cleaner. Schoonmaker can be traced really fucking far back so in back in the olden times we were dope fucking boat makers... or we cleaned the poop and dead plague victims out of the gutters of the streets.

but I am neither of those things. I am SCHOON and i am an environmental studies major. Trees, energy, sun, wind power, water depletion, more trees, hippies, dumb blonde girls, my friend petrie, my friend ben who was pre law then fucked up and is now in environmental studies. Thats what that shits about. sonnnn

pfffff, hahaha


mine's.....in here

Greek form of the Aramaic name תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma') which meant "twin". In the New Testament this was the name of the apostle who initially doubted the resurrected Jesus. According to tradition he was martyred in India. Due to his renown, the name came into general use in the Christian world.

In England the name was introduced by the Normans and became very popular due to Saint Thomas Becket, a 12th-century archbishop of Canterbury and martyr. Another notable saint by this name was the 13th-century Italian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas, who is regarded as a Doctor of the Church. Other famous bearers include philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), American president Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), novelist Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), and inventor Thomas Edison (1847-1931).
