About Me

You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later.

My Interests

photography ::: graffiti my faith, (stencil) graffiti, Banksy, graphic design & typography, tattoos, falling asleep on the couch, my MacBook, getting popcorn kernels unstuck from in my teeth, standing out in a crowd, Durham pride, laughing uncontrollably with my family, intellectual films, Alana & BAS, sporks, slip-on Vans, reading and/or listening to good books, London, the number 4 billion, frilly toothpicks

I'd like to meet:

the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
