Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

About Me

This life is trying to lose me,
following these paths that fade away and holding on to what confuses me.
Holding my hands out in front,
feeding the emptiness with unfulfilling thoughts.
Thinking of plastic toys and grass stained knees,
a place where there are no paths through the trees,
but instead clear directions all around,
a forest with infinite trails abound...
Wrestling with time and losing to love,
even though my head is hung, i look above.
The world keeps spinning,
the stars stay lit
and living things die,
but the thoughts of change,
of different ways,
stays in my body and in my mind.

"The lights on this path are blinding."

My Interests

Waking up to the sun and a warm day and falling asleep to thunderstorms and crashing waves.

"HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
W.B. Yeats

Anal Pastry

I love buttertarts. I think I'm somewhat of a connoisseur. They aren't a treat that can be made with caution to the wind. It's important that they aren't too processed either. Care must...
