Hey, watch the hair.

About Me

I'm a simple man with few likeable qualities. I'm obnoxiously optimistic, at times, I'm a little too nice to bums, I spend money like it's air, I have underdeveloped social skills, I'm a godless sodomite, and I'm a little too self-aware for my own good. I fucking suck. Oh yeah, I never say the word "fuck," but I sure do love writing it. In short: if you need money, and I just happen to have some on me... you are in luck, my friend. I have no fucking will power.......
