Tengo un chango feo en mi pantalones....

About Me

I am a 32-year-old writer living in Las Vegas. I frequently prance around in 1970s vintage Superman underoos complete with cape, fighting injustice running rampant inside my cluttered abode...I also have a big Phat Kat, typically the source of the aforementioned injustice.
