About Me

Let's see...I'm generally not a big fan of advertising myself for strangers. But the short version is I'm a 27 year college graduate (I once fancied myself a kind of writer) that randomly elected to enlist in the U.S. Army. Now that I'm here, I'm kind of liking it (except for that whole running thing). Mostly I like it cause I make a decent living and still don't have to have any major direction in life, and sadly enough that statement should pretty much tell you all you really need to know about me.

The Loneliness

El Mar (Homecoming)

The desert gave me strength. I studied thirst but forgot raindrops on a tin roof. Now home - I breathe in wet and waltz with salt winds. Waves perform for me, alone, cresting diamond unicorns. Casca...
