About Me

I'm a God damned loose cannon. A hiphoppopotamus. A psychadelicatessen. Also, there are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
