About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to the next minute

ABOUT ME

He talks at speed
He gets nose bleeds
He doesnt see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
Hes just so keen
For you to listen
But no-ones listening
And when you put it all together
Theres the model of a charmless man

PHILOSOPHY

People are strange, when you're a stranger, faces look ugly, when you're alone.

People are dumb.
