About Me

It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi.I write for fun. I'm a crappy little guy living in a crappy little town populated by crappy little people looking for a crappy little girl to maybe have a crappy little relationship with.
Introduction. In 2002, I had a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball removed. I have brain cancer. I am not dying. The cancer will not kill me.
I can speak Binary. 0100100101100110 011110010110111101110101 011000110110000101101110 01110100011011110110111100101100 011110010110111101110101 011000010111001001100101 0110001101101111011011110110110000101110. Impressed? Send me a message.

My Interests

Watching DVDs of TV shows. Making obscure references that nobody gets because they're just not cool enough. Remembering what backpacks used to look like, before they became suitcases with straps. Wishing I was still a kid. Wondering what it would have been like if I had discovered the tumor earlier, while I was in high school. Doing voices. Listening to great music Watching great movies Looking for great friends. People. Human nature.
