About Me

well, here's a tidbit into my history. i was born on the prairie to two canadian slaves. my parents were killed in a freak washboard accident and i was adopted by the ronald mcdonald circus. i learned to tame the lions and ride the wild chickens. i grew weary of my life on the road, so on my eightenth birthday, i claimed independence from the circus and began to make my way in the world. i started in alaska on a crabbing ship. i worked that for three months and then read in "national geographic" that my current job as a crab fisherperson had the highest mortality rate of any job ever, and by ever i mean even more deadly than being a myan virgin. so i began my career as rock star. i toured all around australia, singapore, and miami but the hard life on the road reminded me of my past days in the circus. i couldnt take being reminded of my family that i had abandoned, so i fled, and thats where i am found, still fleeing, trying to find the circus.
oh, and i play the bagpipes
