About Me


The spires and high Giraldas, still as nails
Nailed in the four cross roads,
Watch where the song becomes the color of carnations,
And flowers like wounds in the white dust of Spain.

In the four quarters of the world, the wind is still,
And wonders at the swordplay of the fierce guitar;
The voice has turned to iron in the naked air,
More loud and more despairing than a ruined tower

-Thomas Merton, for Federico Garcia Lorca

My name is James.
I have ten toes.. Well, I did last time I checked.
That was more than an hour ago.
Alot of things can happen in an hour.
