About Me

.
My entire feelings about life could be summed up in these Modest Mouse lyrics, and you can make of it what you want: "A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam/ It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Butch Walker, David LaChappelle, Chuck Close, one of Vargas' models, Bear Grylls, Chuck Palahniuk, Brody Dalle, Isaac Brock, other writers and adventurers...better yet, writer/adventurers. Hopefully, in very similar circumstances.
