About Me

(In a nutshell)Professional day dreamer and a literature + music junkie. An aspiring wordsmith prone to delusions of grandeur.Yet another lost soul searching for its place and meaning.A seemingly self absorbed pseudo-intellectual neurotic alcholic(recovering mind you,or atleast trying) A work in progress,I'd have to say I'm an eccentric,some what aloof man who has begun to accept and even take pride(for the most part)in all my quirks and idiosyncrasies. You are who you are,so I figure you might as well accept it and atleast TRY to keep the self loathing to a minimum:) I'm a true believer in both the idea and power of the individual.My people you're not just a statistic.Be and Think for yourself biatches!!( A pretentious bastard aren't I?)
