About me
Thor, son of Odin, lives in Tampa Bay, and yes, Florida is as bad as you think. He is a stalwart advocate of any medium that progresses story telling and believes that a man can learn more from a story than just about anything else. His favorite (contemporary) movies are: Enter the Void, Drive, and There Will Be Blood, among others.
