what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

About Me

i am the one, johnny carcinogen.
lo-fi.

total contradiction.

i am not free of sin, but i think i'm better off than most.

i'm pretty lazy, and i need changes, but i'm trying.

i'm pretty fun, though.

it's not what you say, it's how you say it.

that is a lie.

My Interests


keepin' it "real." observation. being oblivious. satire. poking the bear. letting lying dogs bite when provoked. butchering the english language. music. distorted senses of reality. cartoons. irony. polar-opposites & walking contradictions. sleeping pills. the idea of amphetamines. art. food. anthropological-history. jokes. comfort. release. r n' r (rest & relaxation-style, or sex & drugs-style). stuff & things. things with stuff on them. memory loss.

a girl who can put up with me while i put up with her.
