I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a pretty easy-going guy. I enjoy hanging out with friends, photography, running, playing soccer, and watching sunsets. I try to read quite a bit and write. I'm close to my brother and a small selection of other people. I do love meeting new people from new places. When people ask me what I want to be, I usually answer...happy. Merely a state of mind. I'm a dork and yeah, ask me if you want to know anything else.

Cold comfort for change. Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?''How I wish, how I wish you were here, we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here.'

A Ballade

I tried out a structure of writing I've never heard before. This is a ballade, not the same as a ballad. It was big for French writers in the 14th and 15th centuries but Geoffrey Chaucer used the form...

This Time Poetry

I hope all is well with everyone! I've been thinking a lot lately about how we get consumed by simple problems in our own lives and how trivial most of them are. I don't mean to say worrying about pay...
