My Random Writing
"The best way I can really describe myself is crazy. Not really sure what I mean by that but over 76% of America is considered dysfunctional and I am proud to say I am one of those people. I am part of the majority. Besides being a huge Star Wars fan I am also a fan of the band the Insane Clown Posse and most others from Psychopathic Records which makes me 110% Juggalo.
