One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day in 2007, I caught 101 fish in seven hours in a creek with an average depth of about 3 feet.

In 2008, I participated in a riot.

There is an 80s rock star in Sweden who bears the same name as I do. Strange, obsessed, middled aged Swedish women are constantly friending me on Facebook, sending me love messages, and trying to fb chat me in Swedish.
