About Me

Deep:
This living hand, now warm and capable
Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold
and in the icy silence of the tomb,
So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights
That thou would wish thine own hea[r]t dry of blood
So in my veins red life might stream again,
and thou be conscience-calm'd--see here it is--
I hold it towards you--
- John Keats
Less deep:
Give me women, wine, and snuff
Until I cry out "hold, enough!"
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection:
For, bless my beard, they aye shall be
My beloved Trinity.
- John Keats
A little about me... I'm a writer. I write mostly fantasy and science fiction, with a little bit of realism here and there to keep me sane. I also play a little guitar and take photographs from time to time. I'm in school right now to be an English major. Maybe I'll teach someday... who knows?
