About Me

I can fit into any sized box I wont be anyone's patsy If you hold your breath and sink under water looking up while the moon is full your inner child swims with you If you’re quick you can catch the little bastard I am not very big on punctuation but I can be trained What else hmmm Foreign languages and subtitles Taking photographs and long hours in the darkroom fighting with my dog for his toy and letting him win Reciting poetry while knee deep fishing The futility of describing myself in this tiny box is an inep task yet my obsessive tendencies are holding me in check Travel Travel Travel Margaritas and chips and salsa My dad is still my hero and my family members are among my best friends Silly English comedy and down home Texas drawl Undressing strangers with my eyes I gave up comfort for a suitcase and a pipe dream my attention seems to wan somet... Mean people suck (i e George Bush) and Talk Radio doesn't (i e NPR) Changing my physiognomy to match my mood Brainstorming Road trips where the map blows off the bike and you stick to the back roads Looking at pictures Collarbones and the back of the neck Sometimes Im Shy But I usually get over it Drawing Breakfast The smell of oil paint and inspiration Making a good List Completing projects no matter how infrequently it happens Oh and did I mention Travel?
