Smug for no reason.

About Me

Uncrowned king of non sequiturs. Full of untapped potential. Always forgets first impressions. Lucky number is seven. Enjoys the role of mysterious benefactor. Is deathly afraid of clowns and bugs. Favorite sports are boxing, baseball, and brazilian jiu-jitsu. Has had the great fortune of always dating out of his league physically. Loves animals. Harbors nerdish leanings (Star Wars, anime). Loves women who are obviously smarter and/or more talented than him. Refers to self in third person on occasion.
