You need a grown ass man in yo life.

About Me

I care about stuff no one else does. I'm not willfully obscure, I'm just a nerd. I go to most places by myself because Beyonce showed me the importance of being an independent women. I actually do know the vast majority of the people who are listed as my friend. If I love ya, I'll break my neck to never let you down. My life is simulatneously a bad indie flick and a John Hughes movies. I used to care, but now I simply don't. I'm exploring the idea of being an army of one. I do music, photography, dance, DJ and a bunch of other stuff that makes me cliche. I need a vacation. All I want to be is happy, but at the moment I'll take being content.
