About Me

Skalllander, Skallander, Skallander.

Believe in the future?
Enjoy the green apples more than the red?
Spend hours with your nose in the newspaper dreaming of a better world?
Remember what it was like to dream of being a sports superstar?
Think you know better than mapquest?
Have a close relationship with shovels and spades?
Hate more than 99% of new experiences?
Wish you could find the right drugs?
