About Me

I'm a 20-something usually pleasant guy, living in the great city that is new york. I'm a lefty who's adapted well to the fact that nearly all products are designed for right-handed people, but I'm a little scared by the fact that 2,500 left-handed people die each year using products made for right-handed people. I knew those spiral notebooks were treacherous, I'm gonna get ink poisoning from pushing the marker across the page. I'm better edged in street brawls though...and I've played my share of 'double dragon', so.... I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!
