About Me

I am a work in progress.I dunno quite what to say here. But I feel like telling the world I'm about to get my shit in gear, after like I don't even know how many years of sitting on my hands, metaphorically speaking. A series of events has conspired to kick my ass into shape, to where I've decided its time to stop fucking around and put myself where I need to be. The resources have arrived. I've even got freedom. Now its all a big playground, and the limits are only my imagination. There are some people I owe some thanks to for motivating me to get up out of my hole in the ground and start doing it. They did say I'd thank em, even though I found that really irritating at the time. You know who you are. So, yeah, Thankyou. Ha!
