Bio
Graduate film student leaning on the avant garde. A connoisseur of tattoos, booze, film, music, art and mayhem. My obsession with political conspiracy theory is my form of submission. I work full time and go to school full time, rendering me woozy, veering side to side in a haze of delusion and ill repute. My salvation? My wit. My downfall? My tendency for self destruction. I'm bored with this town, though locked into obligations for punctuality and attendance. Like all of us, I make due with absurdity and the whittling down of tact.
