About Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-EHA51cOSE So...I don't work for Bollo's anymore- I yelled at my boss- because that's how I roll. Now I live in a box, yo. Well not yet. But, while I am enjoying the greatest success of my writing career at the same time I am trying to tread water at the bottom of survival's barrel. 16 Blocks Magazine is my pride and joy. It seems The Collegiate Times saw us as competition so after three and a half years of service they terminated our relationship because I wrote for the mag. I was made a literary martyr I guess. I applied to grad school in Colorado for an MFA program in creative writing- my future hinges a little on this. It scares me and enthralls me at the same time.
I'm also the lead and rhythm guitarist for the imaginary band, Agent Omega . If you would like to hear a few raw acoustic and electric tracks check it out. Otherwise, thanks for nothin. Just kidding, I value our relationship. I like ninjas, beer, football, and poetry.

My Interests

My Little Brother Cory

I Like Guitars

Aikido

I like Nascar because it makes it go "Vrooom!"
Football is Cory's fault
I love Virginia and its Mountains

I dig the creative process and words that make music. I search for love in the most subtle way, but cannot find it anywhere. I like bourbon and brandy and green tea - but not all at once.

I'd like to meet:

Bitter Remark of the Day: In the Beginning

Maybe when I die, God will be kind to me and show me the myriad ways I made life better for others when I was alive while hiding the horrors I allowed to exist within and without.
