About Me

hello. my name is ian.

i am a 23 year old mostly regular person.
i live in philadelphia in a 250 square foot apartment.

i am a cook of sorts. i enjoy that as much as i hate it.

i wish i were born in england. or japan.
i am obsessed with british television and zombies.

i like to play guitar and sing even though i am rubbish.
i should really say i like to strum three chords and whisper.
i record this strumming and whispering on my coffee table.

i often stay up all night because i like the quiet.
and also because movies look better in the dark.

"i dont want to achieve immortality through my work...
i want to achieve it through not dying."
