About Me

If you ask me to go to a Techno club, I am not down for it and I hate the smell of bacon. I also can't stand people who are dishonest or fake. If you want to talk to me, wait for the commercial. I know I'm not like other people, I don't need you to tell me that

The most important advice you'll ever recieve: "Before you get dressed think to yourself: Would Delta Burke have ever worn this on Designing Women? If the answer is yes, do NOT put it on."

This is a parody of my relationship with this nation's healthcare system, I'm the little guy
