Arno

To accept a little death is worse than death itself

About Me

i'm really loud. like the other day i was walking down the hallway on my way to bounce a server, talking on the phone at what i consider a normal, reasonable volume, and this lady i walked by was on her phone and she goes "DO YOU MIND?! I CAN'T HEAR BECAUSE YOU'RE SO_LOUD_!!", and i was like, "you GO girl!!", and then i went and re-started the server. i currently own 60-something pairs of shoes.

"Arno once brought the pain on so hard, the pain reached escape velocity and went into orbit. After fifteen years circling the globe, the pain struck an incoming asteroid and saved the human race from extinction. Today, NASA pays Arno to bring the pain on a monthly basis, hoping to have an orbital asteroid shield in effect in the year 2041"
