About Me

"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"
-Albert Einstein

Curley-headed... foot-tapin'... day-dreamin ... hopeless romantic... doodler
We have all been dealt the same hand, a brief life, I am passionate about learning how it is lived.
And, I can't spell
You should know that ahead of time. And I type those little dots (...) way too much. I just can't help myself.
Oh, and something else I should warn you about. I am obsessed with photography. I have to talk myself into leaving the camera at home at least one night a week. I have been known to take it to bars and share drinks with it. But it is a lightweight so I have to finish most of its beer. Here are a few of the more sober shots I have taken...

I also do band photography. Live candids and press photos (more to post soon)
..
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or our rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion; that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection
-Kahlil Gibran

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"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

how to be a movie star

There is nothing more routine than driving to work. It is a time when we trace the day away in our mind, remember last nights dream or think about what we will have for lunch. But I found a magic butt...

1,019 miles an hour? Yeah, about that fast.
