About Me

************************************************************ **To begin with myself, then, the utterances of men concerning me will differ widely, since in passing judgment almost every one is influenced not so much by truth as by preference, and good and evil report alike know no bounds. - Petrarch**************************************************** *********I drank to drown my pain, but the damned pain learned how to swim, and now I'm overwhelmed by this decent and good behavior... - Kahlo******************************************************* *******…scores of people stood around in the darkened gallery straining to hear every word of the amazing poetry reading as I wandered from group to group, facing them and facing away from the stage, urging them to glug a slug from the jug, or wandered back and sat on the right side of the stage giving out little wows and yeses of approval and even whole sentences of comment with nobody’s invitation but in the general gaiety nobody’s disapproval either… - Kerouac

My Interests

***************************************************...and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are 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 center light pop and everybody goes "Awww!" - Kerouac ************************************************************
