About Me

The origin of the universe occurred about 14 billion years ago. After 9.5 billion years, the earth coalesced and life subsequently began, probably as bacteria deep within rocks.

Around 4.5 billion years later, dead or american got together and started playing music.

Fucking hell, thats evolution for you...
