Legally Blind Observations

Just in case you were wondering who’s bringing you all this nonsense…

Bio: One of my classes freshman year required us to make a blog for our assignments, so I decided to make a personal blog in addition to the class one, on Blogger, then after about two years I moved it over here because it seemed a lot more lively. I’m single, straight, I drink, I don’t smoke (although I’m pro-legalization because why the fuck is it illegal to begin with, come the fuck on), I’m more liberal than conservative, I was raised Catholic but don’t really subscribe to organized religion that much, and I get along with most people. I like to call people on their bullshit and will judge the shit out of you if you don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re.” I also curse a lot. Sorry if that offends you or whatever. If it helps, it’s not out of maliciousness. And if it doesn’t help, then at least I fuckin’ tried, right?

Besides this whole blogging thing, I write comics, practice parkour, design tattoos freelance (and free of charge, ask me for one if you’re looking), make beats and rap, talk a lot of shit on Twitter, and play a shit-ton of Xbox. I also run this Tumblr.

Anything else you want to know, just ask. I’m pretty much an open book and don’t get embarrassed or shamed easily so ask away. I’ve also been told that I give good advice, so if that’s what you’re looking for let a Rican know.

And yes, those are my eyes up there next to the title of the blog, and yes, I am actually legally blind in both eyes (without my glasses/contacts). 

Stay classy
