I have expectations of others that seem unfathomable at times... yet they're just the things I expect of myself... and that I wish people would expect of me. Most people have just set their expectations low as some knee jerk reaction to the failures of their parents and the mistakes of their adolesence. I'm quite convinced most people would rather crawl than risk falling. We're just insecure and battered little kids that are running around trying so hard to act disinterested that we have become completely uninteresting.
"If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things." - Henry Miller
"How many things we held yesterday as articles of faith which today we tell as fables." - Michel de Montaigne

Sweetness sings from every corner
Cars careening from the clouds
The bridges burst and twist around

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Clementine Kruczynski

“It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.” - Charles Bukowski

People that have most, if not all, of the following: Ambition, drive, imagination, high standards, and the desire to at least attempt to be extraordinary.

Back to basics...

How many weeks have I done this? How long has it gone on? Some nights I try to think back on it and it feels like it's been a few months, but in reality it's been years. I don't think most people r...

Things have changed...

As of my last post, I didn't know quite what to say to people. Now, I find myself in the exact opposite position. I'm afraid if someone prompted me to start speaking my mind, I might not know when.....

As of late...

I've lost the words... the will... or a combination of both... that are needed to hold up any type of conversation with most people. Forgive me if I'm curt. For once in my life, I just don't know wh...

Athens

There's something about the 1.2 hours of travel that make a trip to Athens feel more like a pilgrimage. I decided to drive to Athens this evening with the intent to have dinner with an old friend... ...
