If Chuck Norris and Vin Diesel had a love child, it's this guy:

It was the first snowfall of the year here today. It was very pretty, and heavy, and damp, and now frozen and crunching under my feet when I walk outside.

I've booked an appointment for a frenum piercing in a couple weeks. I'm excited. I'm only waiting that long because it'll be pay day and I'm broke.

Muse. The Resistance. It is arguably their best album yet, in my opinion. Get it. Now.

I'm pretty sure that I have a cold. In August. I vote for enabling the death penalty against this weather.

So technically my birthday was finished 3 and a half hours ago, but damn, I wasn't this drunk and stoned then. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why I'm hitting the keys so hard, but well, we've all been there. Happy times everyone!
