About Me


To be a man of one place is infinite.To be a man of every place is a snare.This is one thing those holy madmen empty headed and navel gazing in their stinking caves -This is one thing they were right about.You will not believe me because I did not believe them.I have to hold my brain like this or it will run out like a grease trap and spatter on your new dress.
