I am the anti-life equation.

About Me

I know exactly who I am. Can you can delve deep enough to figure it out? It's a strange journey to the center of all that is. It takes determination and a sense of survival to fight your way though all of me. I am loneliness. I am failure and the most extreme belief of guilt and shame. Pride. Arrogance. You couldn't tear down all that I am into anything simple to view. I am plague. I am pestilence. I will sicken you to your very heart. You feel pain. Nausea. I hope it was all worth it.
Every breath is a step through destruction.
I am a 31 year old who is still straightedge. I listen to a lot of hardcore but really dig on thrash and drone. A bit of emo works too. Truthfully, I am one of those 30 year olds who acts like a kid, has an awesome sense of humor and tends to do things at his own expense just for laughs. Apparently, I have a pretty cruel sense of humor but I think those people are full of shit. Anyways, you got this far, what are you waiting for?

My Interests

Look, if you are not going to talk to me, then why even be friends?

Best Book I've ever read was Catch-22. A big fuck you if you don't like it. It's genius but I understand that people who aren't that bright don't get it. A Clockwork Orange was really good too. It and The Stand. Steven King = awesome. There's this book I had to read in 9th grade reading called Alas Babylon that I think really high of too. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas was really good too. I've read 3 Charlie Huston books and they were amazing and everyone should read the Henry Thompson trilogy. Harry Potter is pretty solid too.
Currently reading "Already Dead" by Charlie Huston.

Hunter S. Thompson. Bill Hicks. Stan Lee. Henry Thompson. Larry David. Jesse Custer ranks pretty high up there too.

Put a fork in me dear, I’m done.

When we are at our top, as top as we as people can be, why is it we can't see the horror that awaits, if only to die at our best before wallowing until natural death as a shell of what we once were.Th...
