It's a hydrogen solution to our suffering.

About Me

Hablah, bla bla, blah bla BLARGH!I love my life.
I'm learning new things everyday, especially the correlation of happiness and passion, over the seeking of material objects, and balancing all those things.
I am a Thanatology student. Some find this morbid, But I accept it as a part of life. I wish to help people as a restorative artist, using my talents in the visual arts to restore their loved ones to a state that is familiar to them.
I love my friends. I'm very, very loyal to them. And I love really good conversation. When you can be uninhibited and talk about anything and get really honest and share your innermost thoughts.
I paint, but I take it for what it is for me- a hobby. I like to play solitaire and take care of my fish and bonsai trees. I love Hemingway and Cuban jazz. I can roast my own coffee and do a small number of intresting parlour tricks.
Oh yeah, I'm not intrested in bands or sleazy porn stuff, so don't send it, mmkay?
By the way: LOOK AT COOL PAINTINGS!!!

Get me to the sea.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see th...

What I've been up to..

Okay, so I've been painting obsessively.. And I've been documenting it. Start at the bottom, watch stuff progress. I try to paint everyday, but I usually take weekends off and don't document ones I'm ...

More paintings.

The first two are about five months old, Just didn't throw them out there for a reason that's pretty moot now. What's neat about it, is that I stacked and glued two thin canvasses together, and made m...
