About Me

I'm French and Irish. I'm loud and obnoxious. I'm a musician and a writer. I'm a lover AND a fighter. I own more books than I do movies. I own more comics than I own socks. I can drink coffee like water and whiskey like coffee. I believe in true love and le coup de foudre. I'm an angel at heart but a demon in bed. I'm terrible at remembering names but I won't forget what you were wearing. I don't need you, but I wouldn't mind the company. Winter weather always trumps the summer. But on the other hand the ocean kicks the mountains ass any day. I play cards like I play hearts - all in. My taste in music suits my personality. I'm drug free. I ROYGBIV my closet because there's not enough light in there. I make lame science jokes. I sleep on only one side of the bed. Animals and me are best friends. I have an affinity for really terribly violent periods in human history. It's ok, I'm an anthropologist so it's not that creepy. ..

Coffee and cigarettes.

The smooth liquid of vanilla syrup, two sugars, one cream sliding between my gloss moistened lips feels like heaven in chilled coffee form. I reach for a Djarum special, the perfect compliment to a co...

I heard it best as "burn, piano island, burn."

I could write a hundred lines, or I could do them. The end result is some form of the drips. I've seen the sunrise more in the past two weeks than I have my entire life. I don't know how I feel about...

I couldnt speak it so Ill prose.

As I lay on this couch that doesn't belong to me, in a city I don't belong in, every fiber of my being craves every inch of yours. If I locked myself up in this mental and semi-physical chastized pris...

There is still a bit of your skin I yet to have kissed.

I close my eyes and see the silhouette of your body between my thighs. When I open them you're gone just as soon as you got here. My dear, I've had sleepless nights over you for years and you don't ev...

Quotes that are important to me.

I like cigarettes , Miss Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching th...
