  • Biography
    I am a strange convergence of inquisitive, accident prone, and easily bored. If I'm giggling like a child, don't think, don't question, just run.

    A few years ago I had a surreal moment of introspection where I realized that I was wearing flip-flops, boxer shorts, welding gear (jacket, gloves, mask), I had just used a blow torch to light a cigarette for a friend and no one present at this event was concerned/surprised/shocked/wondered where my pants were.

    On a disturbing note I am seriously considering buying a LARGER blow torch...

    I sometimes wonder if I am not actually very strange.
