About Me


time.
ticking clocks drive me crazy.
so does ticking in general.
i'm a live music junkie!
at a show is where you'll find me...
middle child syndrome in technicolor...
"Life is a crazy spiral...full of infinite, and endless, possibilities. One event, one person, one moment, one breath, can change the course of your life, forever."
~moi.

"I really didn't know who I was for about 15 strange seconds. I wasn't scared. I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost. I was halfway across America, at the dividing line between the East of my youth and the West of my future."
~Jack Kerouac.
"Nothing matters in the end but the quality of the affection that carves the trace in the mind where memory lives..."
~Ezra Pound.
"We loved with a love that was more than love."
~Edgar Allan Poe.
~Bob Dylan.

"Dreams are the touchstones of our characters."
~Henry David Thoreau.

"Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white
and in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air
between the rain
through myself and back again
where?
I don't know...
...round here we're carving out our names
round here we all look the same
round here we talk just like lions
but we sacrifice like lambs
round here she's slipping through my hands
sleeping children got to run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning..."
~Adam Duritz.
************************************************************ *****
"I can hear the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill...
...Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But me, I can't cover what I am..."
~Bob Dylan.
