"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. delicious ambiguity..."
- Gilda Radner
Wordsmithing
Making people think
Making people laugh
Making people remove the masks we don in self preservation
Putting my own masks away
Doing things I've never done before
Facing the unknown with a smirk on my face to hide the hesitation inside
Creation, self expression, and an insatiable desire to experience all the wonders that life has to offer
Exploring the darkness. Revelling in the light
Helping folks realize their dreams, while not undermining my own

Realistically:
People who embrace their fears and their passions with wanton abandon, and are true to themselves and with others without compromise. No subterfuge, no games, and no pretending you're someone you're not. I'm too busy and life is too big for wasting our time with things like that...

DISCLAIMER: I love your comments, and don't mind funny graphics that won't induce epileptic seizures in lab rats. I love supporting my local bands so keep letting me know when you're appearing. I love helping my artist friends expose others to cool underground artistry... BUT if you try to pimp your porn industry, home based businness, or anything I just don't think is about ART, then it's a-gonna be de-l33t-ed. Don't be offended, If you really want me to see pictures of you balancing a musical instrument on your manhood, just mail them to me like everyone else. Thanks!

Each and every person with whom I have held a meaningful conversation, shared laughter, tears, and an altered state of mind... You who are there for me when I most need you and least expect you to be... You for whom I would stop everything if you called my name in a time of need... You who have never abandoned me.. You, my friends, are my heroes. Thank you.
