Everyday that I wake up, I realize that I am alive. But, before I go to sleep, I feel as though I ha

About Me


I resemble a simian.
I smell like an artifact.
I walk like how I feel.
I act like I shouldn't.
I am human.

I loved once... And, that one time was enough.©
This IS the part where I boast relentlessly, right?
Scroll here to learn about me...

I'm the loner in the crowd defying tradition, dropping habits, breaking routine, and denying the common consensus.
Non-Conforming to a ritualistic society's ideals, for I have my own.
I ride on, treading the fine line between what's "the norm" and unorthodox, straying further from the former and always to the ladder.
I find myself constantly breaking the mold with my ingenious persona of the independant self.
Never am I persuaded or weakened in the face of adversity.
I am a Pacifist.
I drink red wines only, no beer or hard liquor.
I prefer my music on vinyl.
I like chics with knife scars on their face.
Ooooh, those green eyes get me everytime...
I like coffee but I hate heartburn.
Karma, You'll get yours.
I like the snow in the winter.
The concept of time has no bearing on my life.
I do NOT pull through parking spaces no matter what.
I like to have space. Not space as in the final frontier, but space as in the area within my personal comfort zone. So, close-talkers, keep your distance unless youre about to kiss me on the lips.
I prefer to think that we're all important in some way.
But, i came to find out that we're all expendable and just merely existing.
I hate deadlines.
No one cares except the people I owe money to.
OWLS and TURTLES are my favorite animals.
I sing and play gutar in Espenshade.

I have my own thoughts, theories, and beliefs.
Scroll here to see some of them:
I believe strongly that Nothing is ever for certain.
I don't believe in soul mates. I do believe that people compliment each other, like colors. No two people are the same.
Everything does happen for a reason. But, not because of some holy intervention. We are all a part of a Markov chain: Life is random but at the same time has discreet rhythm. Events and outcomes are predetermined by the actions immediately before them.

I don't believe in aliens or Ghosts and the supernatural. Until I have an "encounter", I will continue not believing.
I believe in a four day work week. We should only have to work four out of seven days a week and have three to ourselves. We are working too much. Forty, Fifty, and sometimes, sixty hours a week is too much. Are we working to live or living to work?
I believe in Evolution.
I find it funny that a majority of artists were non conformists before they became artists.>

Snow White

She wears, always, white as she floats, featherlike as she dances, so naturally, like in flight, all around me. Maneuvering so gracefully through the air as flags to the wind. So debonair. When I se...
