let's just face it: i'm a genius.

About Me

I'm not a hard luck case, but I've never sipped soup from a silver spoon. I'll say little when we first meet, but it's not shyness. It's just I've never learned how to fake the unnecessary pleasantries too well, but I swear it's nothing to fret about. I'm only trying to see you do you. Come on, show me something you love. I wanna love it, too.

I'm just looking for people that know what it feels like to have a good record send your pulse racing. I'm just looking for master puppeteers with a healthy respect for alliteration and penchant for power-chillin'.

Some clever schmoe with an eye for a bullseye tagline once wrote, "Your greatest creation is the life you lead." I'm with that.

So, sing with me, kid. This is my favorite song.
