About Me

My dad once told me enigmas are more interesting, so I'll keep this short and sweet:Real name, Tom.I occasionally make money writing things and filming stuff.I only truly feel happy when I'm wet and salty. (Or drunk.)I fall for girls with big mouths.I once found the place where pigeons go to die.London kills me every day, but everyone has to have their vices.
