About Me

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” --Jack Kerouac

I'm a clerk at Borders, a student at Missouri Western, and-- occasionally-- an aspiring writer.

Feel free to ask any questions or drop a line.

It is what it is, you know?

David Byrne

The White Stripes

Sarah Vowell

There are loads of others, to be sure; a lot of them linger around my love of music and literature. I'm forgetting a ton, but I definitely wouldn't turn down meeting 'em.
