“It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it

About Me

My Interests

ALLEGED ARTS. TURBO ORANGE. SANTA ANA. PORTLAND. BROOKLYN. "I was the last one left after the nuclear holocaust, eh. The whole world had been destroyed, like U.S. blew up Russia and Russia blew up U.S. Fortunately, I had been off world at the time. There wasn't much to do. All the bowling alleys had been wrecked. So's I spent most of my time looking for beer."
