You must stay drunk on writing so that reality cannot destroy you.

About Me

I'm always putting water on to boil and then forgetting about it. A.k.a. bundle of flaws with freckles, but I recover quickly. I love things when they're just beginning. Generally up for anything, because it's worth it. And one of these days I'm going to finish my book and start a record label.

"Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit." -Abbie Hoffman
