The Experiment Has Failed

Taste of the barrel, lick of the blade

About Me

I curse a lot because I lack the articulation for form meaningful expression or a cohesive argument.

If you're interested, I make music, too. Here's a few of my songs. Leave a comment or some feedback, I've wallowed in this shit for so long my perspective is totally fucked on it.

So long, hello

So if I didn't say goodbye to you before I left, don't get upset or offended, it doesn't mean much. I hate goodbyes and I'm no good at them, as the few who I actually took time out of a very hectic sc...

And so I danced as well...

Eliytres

Nothing makes me happier than Bill Hicks or Finntroll. If I could combine the two in some kind of bitter, angry, truthslinging polka-death metal I'd never stop smiling. My mom wants to take me to Seat...
