Mr. Rocky Balboa

I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is John. I was born on a pirate ship.
I used to sing and play guitar in Wholesale Piracy . We broke up.
Now i'm in [apartments]in NEBRASKA .
I write songs and I paint.
I have a younger sister and two older brothers .
I've never killed anyone. I've never robbed a bank.
I'm a Hypochondriac. I make myself believe that i always have a new uncureable life threatening illness. It's no fun at all.
I can't stop being paranoid when the paranoid motherfuckers who are making me paranoid are really fuckin' out there.
