I have nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion ~ Jack Kerouac

About Me

I like to wave people through at intersections. I feel healing vibrations when I listen to Pet Sounds. I think Obi-Wan Kenobi was the greatest Jedi ever. I wish I had more time to spend with my son...
You are the Black Rabbit of Inle! Oooo, spooky!
