Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.

About Me

I'm the modern man: disconnected, frightened; paranoid, but with good reason... I'm a poet, an autodidact, too. I like to laugh, a lot. I'm a dreamer and a book-worm. An antiquarian and amatuer historian. I've lost contact with the outside world and now, for some reason, I seek to re-establish communication, if only for my amusement. I like to be amused without anyone knowing. I'm a cynic who loves irony. I like to observe people; their characteristics and anomolies. I like to marvel at how beautiful life is, and so disgusting at the same time. I don't believe love can save me. I like to flirt, cause it's fun. I take few things seriously and nothing is really sacred to me, yet. I say let the chips fall where they may.
