About Me

Greetings ladies, gentlemen and all those in between. My name is Paul.

I'm positive that if i could grow a kick ass beard, i would move to the adirondacks and live off the land. change my name to something sweet like rando, arlo or bear claw. "bear claw" jack wyatt. now thats a man's name. carry a knife and quite possibly a musket. build a log cabin. wear some kind of animal fur as a coat. as long as theres heat and a 7/11 close by. i need my triple decker slushy every now and again. It's my dream. if you dont like it, kiss my ass. and watch your back, or i will use my animal hunting skills learned from the natives, coupled with my ninjitsu training from years past to take a bad webcam picture of your exposed abs (not flexed) and post that fucker. aww snap.
