Perception is Reality

About Me

I’m a Pessimistic-Idealist. I deny myself all the things I most fervently want. (It's sweeter when I allow myself to indulge) Yes, I go to extremes. I'm a paradox. Sometimes I feel too much but I would still rather suffer in my own nightmare than smile in someone else's dream.

My Interests

I love to cook and eat with friends, eating alone affords me little pleasure. Red Wine. Amsterdam Shag and Licorice Papers. ART. I find Octopus and Cuttlefish fascinating. The Female Form.

I'd like to meet:

People who know how to live without regrets and love without fear.

Movies:

Amelie. Old Boy. Harold and Maude. Plain Dirty. Casablanca. A Love Song for Bobby Long.

Television:

PBS, The Family Guy, Anthony Bourdain

Books:

The Tropic of Capricorn. Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. Initiate Brother / Gatherer of Clouds. Love is a Dog from Hell.

Heroes:

I seek not to follow in the footsteps of the successful, wise or enlightened. I seek what they sought. I am my own god.

Letter to Paul Buxton: 24on2nd Project

Blood on the Tracks

I have tracks on my arms, evidence of repeated punctures into my veins.  Doctors have always told me I have good veins.  So why not take advantage, use them?  I've heard of people cutt...
