About Me

To be honest, I only fill this section out nowadays because it looks nice. Describing oneself is always the most difficult even for the most brazen and cocky. I am both at times, but more reserved than anythings. Sometimes I chase dreams that I'll never catch and catch those I never chased. Rarely simplified, I am confusing not only to those who love me, but to myself. I don't know why this is, but I've came to accept my shortcomings. I have fun most of the times and sometimes have too much fun. Am I perfect? Perfectly flawed! What else...nice? Too much. Fierce? Always! So that's basically all I want to say here...Njoy.

Incalcitrated Desires

An Unsavory Demise and Versace

Funny how people argue to no end that they've grown up and/or that they command respect from you when they have never earned it. Last night I hit a low point in dealing with people I had once respecte...

Poetry is not a luxury, it’s how I’ll break this home.

Lyrics to Something Special by Voxtrot This time of night I could call you up I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes If I die clutching your photograph Don't call me bo...

The Boaters Stamp
