Toshiro

What's the use of worrying about your beard when your head's about to be taken?

About Me

Some immutable truths follow:
-I am not really Toshiro Mifune. I do possess his honor and fighting spirit though.
-I possess superhuman strength and above average intelligence.
-I know more about some stuff than you ever will.
-I am war torn and battle hardened.
-I am a perfect marriage of creativity and technological prowess.
-I've eaten the dead and I can't say I liked it much.
-I am in possession of the worst genetic traits my lineage has to offer, yet I rise above this shit every day.
-I live with my old lady. She's better than 98% of you.
-I'll take seven of your punches to land my one.
-I'm a helluva good guy.
