About Me

Time and time again I catch myself drifting through life in a cloud of inconsistency. I have perfected uncomfortable silences. I can sense the onslaught of uncertainty, detecting bits and pieces of its forthcoming, it trickles down like small rocks just before the slide, baits me like a Texas Rig dancing around the fat lips of a wide mouth bass, and I desperately wish it to be obvious to you. I want you to feel my predicament, and know it completely, know the passion that fuels my soul, but what will surely be my demise. I feel more alone in a crowd of people than I do in a room by myself. I have made every attempt, but simply do not possess the state of mind, or even more, the ability to accomplish what I was put here to do. Like Crape Myrtles in August. I have succumbed to a mix of love and laziness, a developing fervor for the simplistic and a lessening fondness for things that interrupt those simple times. There was a time when I was full of indecision and complicated thought, a time when my focus had become materialistic and worldly. The irony of it all was the fact my future was so obvious even at an early age. Strangely enough over time I have become the very antithesis of everything I ever wanted. I wanted fortune and notoriety, power and influence most of which, if I had acquired as a younger me, would have been devastating to the longevity of my existence here on earth. Now I'm content with me as a spirit, as a person, and as an artist.....,but sometimes I just make things up.

My Interests

I see all this potential, and I see squandering. An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

I still keep your toothbrush by the sink And I start to laugh when I start to think About the time you tried to fix that leak You must have been at it for about a weekBut you never surrendered no you never gave in And you never gave up even in the end But you always smiled and held your head high And you'll always live forever if only in my mindI love how you loved to dance in the rain And how you lived your life like you felt no pain How you always convinced me everything was ok But that was then and this is todayI still hear your voice from time to time And I start to cry as I wonder why I can see your face when I close my eyes Sometimes I wish that I were blind So I could look at you all the time Sometime I feel like I'm losing my mindI love how you loved to play in the rain And how you lived your life like you felt no pain How you always convinced me everything was ok But that was then and this is today I miss how your voiced used to say my name And how when everyone changed you stayed the same How you always said what you needed to say But that was then and this is today Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be the sameYou must have been at it for about a week That time you tried to fix that leak I always laugh as I start to think I'll always keep your toothbrush by the sink

Worth the wait.

One reason why so many people in this world continue to stay in unhealthy relationships is because they are afraid of being alone. They would rather be with someone that mistreated them, or caused the...
