About Me

Visitor map is crap! It didn't work!I'm not rich or famous and I don't aspire to be. I try to be observant, ponderous, and deliberate in my life as much as I'm able. I believe that love is in abundance and to give it unconditionally is not only okay, but the best thing to do. Also, I am amazing! :)Things I'm currently excited about include, but are not limited to, naps on hot rocks, ink, Slipstream lit, metafiction, metalepsis, catechresis, trompe-l'oeil lit, infinite regress on purpose, ad infinitum. (Booyakashaa!)..

My Interests

Writing.Reading.Running.Fighting.Eating.Oilpaints.Martialart s. Eating.Sleeping.Spokenword.Thoughtword.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody.

Music:

I like an awful lot of music - though I don't like to be a person who says 'I like everything, except country' or 'I like everything, except metal'. I like different music for different moods and moments, different monuments. I like jazz a lot. I could go for hanging out in a low light jazz bar. I like classical a lot too for when I need to feel smart or relaxed - I often write to classical music, especially if I'm working on an unwieldy plot. I like a lot of hip hop of course, but not as often the mainstream stuff on the radio - though I admit that has its place too. I like a lot of folk music too because I like to play my guitar and sing (though I can't usually manage to sing when anyone can hear). I LOVE a cappella music. There's more I'm sure.

Television:

Okay, let me come clean. I didn't have a tv for the last three years, but my new roomy has one so I do in fact look at it from time to time, when I'm passing through, out of the corner of my eye, by accident. So yeah, Friends still holds a special place in my heart, I love Smallville like it's my job, Firefly rocks, Iron Chef is great fun, and I'm sort of obsessed with Miami Ink...but really I don't watch tv.

Books:

Yes.

Heroes:

Miyamoto Musashi, Murakami Haruki, Mas Oyama

A Fool Such As I

Am I religious?

God is not religion.  Religion is a social construct.  It can be good or bad and it can do and be many things, but it is not God.  God is everything.  God is everything there is.&n...

Heart of Darkness

A man wears a leopard skin.  Its arms reach down his arms, its claws dig into his knuckles.  His face peers out through the fangs of the beast.  Its saliva drips down his face like swea...
