I also talk a little about what I’ve been up to, current events and the odd joke thrown in. Oh and on the odd occasion I like to write a few songs lol. Any questions are greatly appreciated.

Everywhere, you'll find two things: Incredible stories of people loving hard and epically in spite of all the things making love impossible, and lonely people who can't make love work. Books, music, movies, society, everything makes it seem like love is a natural thing that just happens between two people. Life and the stories inside this collection suggest that love is hard as hell. Loneliness, and not love, is natural. We live alone. We'll die alone. Grab a beer. Kick back and wallow in that fact.

Such Terrible Things is a collection of stories to be told at night. Within includes, I Hit A Monster With Your Car, which is mostly self-explanatory.
