User:Thor Andersen

My name is Thor Andersen. I am currently studying philosophy and electronic music at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am seized by Nihilist philosophy. I'm a total teetotaler and also abstain completely from drugs, meat, dairy, and eggs. I play guitar in a surf rock group based out of San Diego, CA called Monsters From Mars.
