CURRENT MISSION

MORE STORIES. MORE.

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer at an ad agency. I keep meaning to do things, but mostly I end up running errands and passing out. When I'm not being a complete turd, I like going out and having Adventures (mildly intoxicated, when possible).

PHILOSOPHY

Always looking for the next Adventure, I guess.
