ABOUT ME

I was born in a beautiful country, destined to bless me
with a lifetime of wisdom, empathy and love.

I left that place when I was 1.

I later found wisdom in Batman comics,
empathy in Linkin Park songs and did fall in love, with football.

I’m a simple man, I keep my humor dark and my work colorful.
And when it comes to watching anime, I prefer subs over dubs.
