About Me

The Straight Story;I like to collect stamps, it keeps my karma green, my homecountry is the Dancevalley also known as The Ravegutter "We are all in The Gutter, but Some of Us are looking at The Stars" some wise man once wrote, but this is why I shall, up until this day, consider it occupied. My purpose of being here is to clear my head on a daily base and provide you with The Seafood and Crap. I like my coffee the Tonfisk way + dirndls are my cup of tea. But before I go all OTT here I just catch that there s more space below to do so... You should know Im a bit of a retard when it comes to The Digital Revolution,sometimes I sort of feel like Im in a different timezone with Feathers and Ink and stuff, but that's also why Ive now finally arrived here, for it s All Gonna Change..you watch me doin'it... ..
