About Me

"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 roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."I stole this quote from my sister, who ripped it from the late Jack Kerouac, who surely has spent some time with our late, great, beautiful brother, Nicholas Fennen Gretina, October 6th, 1980-July 25th, 2005.Love you, Nick.
