ABOUT ME

Ummm. crap. I'm sort of a hippy/stoner/philosopher/write r/tutor. I really don't take myself even remotely seriously. Liberal? I'm terrible at this stuff. Generally relaxed and laid back. If I had a super power I would choose fiery rhetoric.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're ever unsure that you should do something, just suck it up and do it.
