Cruz

I am.

About Me

The positive outlook:

I juggle, breath fire, and ride unicycles.

I am pseudo creative and I bend metal into glorious forms of chainmail jewelry to express that slight hint of creativity that I harbor.

I am passionate about books and music.

I am good people that is just a little rough around the edges.

The bitter approach:

I am strange. I am crude. I am rude. I am crass, and an ass. These are the things you should know about me.

I am also real. I do not sugar coat the truth to kiss your ass. If the horrible truth about your miserable life is terrible, it is your prerogative to dislike me if I vocalize it. Please, feel free to tell me my horrible truth. I can take it.

If you can hang, then you are good people. If not, then you can fuck off.

The witty banter:

I have random spurts of pure genius and wit, but not often. Sometimes, I think it happens more often than it really does, but in the end, it just turns out to be some really bad gas.
