EVAPORATING LANGUAGE PHOTOGRAPHER

About Me

4 out of 5 dentists prefer me. Won trophy for Accuracy In Dick Punching—2005. Working on School Of Villianry. I'm sick of symmetry. Once, my mother forced me to lay down. A priest made a hole in my head and took out the stone of madness. Once, I applied to be a Brother Shaemus. I adore birds and my little Pleomele, "Song Of India" — he is my Exupery baobab. I'm a Sagittarius in Indian Vedic Astrology. Tonight we ride.
