About Me

dry, cynical, coffee enthusiast, smoke like a chimney, movie lover. Music is my life.

I've been an old man since i was 16 years old.

I have my own traditions and habits and I don't need yours.

that's about as much self indulgent time i can waste on an about me section

"I tried to drink you off my mind
I just got waisted
It only made the pain that much more acute
But cute
Isn't stong enough a word
Unintentionally gorgeous
An accidental charm
A graceful drinking arm
Disarming..."
