About Me

I’m like salt in a tear.
I often dream that I'm in Lidsville.
I eat with one eye closed.
Music is like Music to me.
I’ve been known to help the hopeless.
I only eat food that is white.
I distrust science and embrace all that is mystical.
I dig Discount Plastic Surgery.
I will one day disappear. . .
