If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

About Me

I am robust, delicate, rough, sympathetic, messy, well-mannered. I bleed crimson, I tan gold, I get zits, scratches, and bruises. I play cards like a demon. I smile like a seraph. I wrestle recklessly. I caress with effeminate grace. My horses I ride astride, bare-back, alone. But, beneath the dinner table my ankles are neatly crossed.

Exordiri, Olfacere, Exclamare.
