About Me

I am a sailor
in the sense that I am tattooed, curse freely, and drink excessively. A little while ago, I moved from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles. And like a true seaman, I found myself losing touch with the few friends and family I had. Thankfully, I found MySpace. Now, the bridges burn more slowly.
I'd like to add that unlike a sailor,
I am completely free of venereal diseases.
My name is Andrew. To my good friends, I'm known as "Popacollar" or "Popsy". To my ex-girlfriends, I'm simply known as "Piece of Shit". Recently, I was given a new nickname; they now call me "The Sauce". However, it should be noted that
there ain't nothin' sweet about The Sauce.
When I was younger, my mother would always tell me, "Andrew, you are what you eat."
These days,
I'm on a strict diet of awesome.
When I'm not watching what I eat, I'm probably writing, making t-shirts, producing music, or talking shit to a man twice my size in a downtown dive bar. Or maybe I'm in class. Or maybe I'm working nights at a menial job because it pays the rent. Whatever the case, I know that I'm still trying to get this mothafuckin' parrot to talk.

Thanks. But No Thanks.

I was at work the other day, standing in line for the bathroom, trying my hardest to hold in a massive shit. Believe me, burritos & beer isn't the best bet for breakfast. When the ...

Astronomy.

Some people call it "the sun". I'd like to think of it as albino repellent.

Sometimes

I wish my name were Ted. That way, I could refer to my friends as Tedophiles.

As an agnostic,

I think it's pretty funny that Palm Sunday fell on April Fool's day. Suckers.

You know what would suck?

Losing a pinky. Mittens and gloves just wouldn't fit/look right. High-5's would be less impactful. And throwing up the "Westside" sign? Well, that would be impossible. ...
