About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see Tool live!

ABOUT ME

Someone who loves to poke fun at life because it's way better than sulking at it. He used to be a rebel in his teenage years, engaging in dangerous and illegal acts like defacing library books, jaywalking, breaking his curfews etc. but those wild years are behind him now.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life by this one philosophy - "Do whatever you want as long as you don't affect others directly or indirectly negatively with your actions." Yep it's kinda long.
