Random acts of demented absurdity. Sick and twisted true stories of a poor white trash individual amusing myself and others with crazy events just to kill time. Everything foul and disturbing you could never imagine a person would do to upset normal society or entertain myself.This book is based on the outrageously and abnormal occurrences. Odd stories, written oddly, to explain the insanity of both me and the chaos. Fighting, blood, and bodily secretions fill these pages with a moral unbalancing of the soul.Readers’ discretion is advised.
