About Me

I cook, I bang on things, I laugh a lot, I write.I feel lucky because everything seems to work out okay for me in the end, but at the same time, I'm always worried it's all going to come crashing down. I felt that way before it all came crashing down, and now I still feel that way.When I was a kid I always suspected that I was the only real human, trapped in a world full of robots that were all just here to fuck with me, like I was the subject of some kind of weird experiment. Sometimes I still wonder if that might be the case.....Once a year or so, I get this overwhelming urge to sell everything I own and move to some unkown beach town in Mexico, and just disappear from Real Society altogether. That urge has been on me pretty heavy lately.I feel like I'm making up for lost time. I try to take advantage of whatever cool opportunities come my way. This usually results in me having fun stories to tell.Common decency is paramount.

Difficult

Sometimes it's hard to go from being the King of all you survey to being just some lowlife shitbag that no one cares about. But only sometimes.
