I stay to myself and let life take me where I'm going. While I appreciate the macabre and grotesque with an eye for the mysterious and unknown. I enjoy jazz, alternative, and metal music . Working on writing something. Never knows best. You're gonna carry that weight. Big brother is watching. Read Hellboy. No truce with the furies.
