About Me


I think this does a good job of explaining who I am. I'm a normal guy who is looking and awaiting that next big turn. I work hard, have tried my hand in many things and battle the feeling of failed expectations. So I lower my head and plow on forward. It's definitely much different than I had imagined things would be like at this point. But behind it all there is a sick, beautiful symmetry. It all makes sense it horrible ways. And like a black comedy, the laughs come through the tears if you have a twisted enough mindset. You just have to look at things the right way and life itself is a big joke...are you laughing along?
I am God's knock me down clown.
This is just another cosmic kick-me sign on my karmic back.
