About Me

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I'm very popular; the sport-o's, motorheads, geeks, sluts, waistoids, bloods, dweebies, dickheads. They all adore me. They think I'm a righteous dude. No wait...thats Ferris Beuller and Ron Burgundy. I'm a child of the living God saved by nothing more than extraordinary undeserved unfathomable grace.
