I'm tired of these muthafucking snakes on this muthafucking plane!

About Me

I'm just a hillbilly with a college degree. I'm from a little place called Phil Campbell. It's in North Alabama and yes, it IS named after Phil Campbell. The story is lame, so please don't ask.

My Interests

I collect more music than I could possibly ever listen to.
