About Me

Tagline
I'm Awesome!
Me, Myself, and I
If you know me at all you'd know there's alot more to me than a simple 'About Me' section could ever cover.

The long and short of it is that alot of different people see me in alot of different ways, depending on our standing. But simply put I'm an immature dropout trying to play the responsible adult. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes it all goes horribly wrong.

I love to laugh and smile, almost as much as I love to bitch and complain. I've a handful of friends that I trust without question because they've seen me through any number of ups and downs. I live in a flat with three of the most genuine guys you could possibly meet.

I'm currently unemployed, which is partially my own fault and partially the fault of a struggling economy. Otherwise I pass my time with my countless geeky hobbies. The occasional night out doesn't go a miss either...

All in all, my life's awesome!
