A Well Respected Woman

Frank Zappa-if all hippie music had been this weird and good, maybe that subculture wouldn't have be

About Me

I live in Columbus, still reside with my parents until I find a job or friend with cheap rent, I'd like to pursue a career in teaching kids the wonders of Film History and the signifcant importance of Dennis Hopper screaming "Don't you fucking look at me!" (Blue Velvet). Currently, I am laying out plans for my own country called Hentoszistan. Inspired by the book "Under my Roof" and fed up with the world today, I have decided to secede and form my own country. I will be providing updates on the construction of my future empire assuming I recruit enough associates.
