Devout worshipper of hard rock and metal, I am allergic to Coldplay and television reality/talent shows and have an insatiable love for crappy (in a good way) B-movies, doner kebabs and rootbeer. I would love to elevate myself out of working a menial day job and move into some paid writing work so please give generously and make it happen.
