About Me



I'm not trained to hunt gazelles.

Retrograduation

I rambled to Roxe about the almighty value system last time I was on coke. I love calling it coke, cause it's classique, cocoa in ornate script, beyond cola. Freud got a lot of mileage out of it, he m...

Re-acquaintance with the World on the Rocky Grohman Lakeside

I would be tired, but a mug of sludgy black caffeine keeps me up. I'm roaring down the highway in my sport utility whatever, ten clicks over the speed limit. The road is curved like the contours of th...

Still Raining, Still Dreaming

Weird feelings. Which is why I've made the decision to clean myself out. If I can't stop fucking with my head for a month, I really am an addict. So I'm going to take control. But I haven't recovered...
