About Me

[insert impressive biography here]

My Interests

Chainsaws, Beautiful Deaths, Certain kinds of Guacamole, and Mysterious Faraway Lands.

I'd like to meet:

My (alien) ancestors, and a melange of great persons from Jesus to Joan of Arc, Zeno to Galileo, Shakespeare to Charlie Kaufman, Vernet to Escher, Hitchcock to Gilliam, Watterson to Tartakovsky, Neumbeard to Neumthor, Captain Crunch to Toucan Sam. And perhaps some other people who, through every fault of their own, became unconventional and interesting.
