I thought you could move mountains.

About Me

My mother found me in a forest, bound in the trunk of a tree. The last of my kin died in Poland in 1627. I'm a writer/aspiring author with a flair for being a bit odd and longwinded. I write any sort of thing, poetry, lyrics, short fiction, historical non-fiction also working on a novel and some movie scripts. Here's a sample of some historical, folkloristic, non-fiction: http://www.endicott-studio.com/rdrm/forhunt.html At the moment I'm back from Iceland and in the process of "settling in" until I go head back there next year sometime. Sadly, I'm finding the town I'm in to be incredibly boring, so my life is beginnning to consist of a regular routine, working, working out, jogging, writing, rinse, repeat. Whatever breaks the monotony is most welcome. Any good concerts coming up? Ten bucks says I can make you shoot milk out your nose. if thats not enough for you , let me say this: ... Te izvadi tri jabuke zlatne I baci ih nebu u visine... ...Tri munje od neba puko..e Jedna gada dva djevera mlada, Druga gada pa..u na dorinu, Treca gada svata ..est stotina, Ne utece oka za svjedoka, Ni da ka..e, kako pogibo..e.
