About Me

I spin until I can't spin anymore. I stop spinning. I wobble and feel a little sick. But, I can still feel it under my feet: the ground. I'm too dizzy. I can't stand. I fall. I fall to the ground fast like it's pulling me close, like it's holding me tight, like it won't let go. I lie on my side. Everything shifts and swirls. I've spun far away... I look and see the dark, crashing ocean. I wait until I feel still again. I stand. Then I run. I run hard. I see it and I want it. I want to get close to it. I reach it. I jump right into it. The churning spinning crashing thrashing salty sweaty love of it. This is me, I think. This is me in it. From Bruiser, by Ian Chorao

I’ve got fans!

Out of no where, a guy messaged me and told me he used to read my Livejournal every day, and he still has some files on his computer concerning things I wrote years ago- he particularly liked my conve...

Friday

It was a magical night having 3 great friends with me, dancing, and having a silly time at the same place. It's close to impossible to get 2 in the same spot, but 3 of them? I was pretty manic and fel...

Autumn Tunes

During my lunch break, I went to Virgin Records for more blank CDs- I ran out on Sunday, burning some tunes for Brian. I love giving the gift of music to friends. Often, I put together a mix of tunes ...

Quoted the Tony,

Unlike you sickos, I had no one to cuddle with last night. Instead, by candle light, I text messaged Edgar Allan Poe poems to random people. I thought it rather clever, mixing old-world craft (the can...

Gay Pride Begins

I stood out late last night and now I am going to pay for it; a couple of friends were smart enough to take today and Monday off to celebrate Gay Pride. Perhaps cynical, but I see Pride as an excuse t...
