A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery- James Joyce. History is a lie agreed upon -Napoleon. Be cafeful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be -Kurt Vonnegut. I haven't failed, I've found ten thousand ways that don't work -Benjamin Franklin. Imagination is more important that knowledge -Einstein. Push beyond what is familiar, Everything you can imagine is real -Pablo Picasso.I like reading that is visual. I just read some Science fiction for the first time. Stranger in a Strange land. I find it is true about fact being stranger than fiction anyways. Moderation is a constant. I'm into photography, music, fashion, nothing too new - nothing too old, never dated. Mark Ryden is fucking awesome(www.markryden.com). When I find something I like, I grow sentiment. However, I don't ever keep anything. I grew up around alot of Aviation. My father was a pilot. I love listening to people speak foreign languages. I used to run alot. I kinda wish I still did. I like coffee from Cafe' Trieste. I like movies that have subtitles. I don't mind walking. I take the muni all over this city. Sometimes it clears my mind. I like helping people. I like seeing what is out in this world. Vocabulary intrigues me. I love different writing styles. I have always tried to take things apart and put them back together since I was a little kid. My mom hated that. "Bryant, put the VCR back together so we can watch a movie". Agressive behavior is triggered by warmer weather. Objects of affixiation become dead bulky weight. Sentiment is placed in objects that only slow us down, but what a ride. It is needy, clingy and requires variegated worth in attention. A vintage purist will tell you that anything within the past 15 years is referred to as contemporary. I always overdress and am obsessed with aesthetics and assesories. Also form over function has proven very functional if that makes sense, if not I can explain. Traveling is calling my name.
People. Perspective people. If you can say something smart that would make me very happy. I meet alot of people. Part of my perspective is from what I've learned from them. If you add me you should message me a few times. We only part to meet again.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Anything by Hunter S.
