About Me

I'm an introspective irony-magnet who grew up having fictional characters, comic book artists, and poets as role models. I walk with one foot on the path-mundane and the other foot on the path-bohemian though mostly I can be found sprinting on only one road or the other.

Potent Quotes:

--Ginsberg.

And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:

Of the world for ever, it seems.
-- Arthur O'Shaughnessy
Nothing by which all human passion and hope and folly can be mirrored and then proved, ever was just a game. Move.
--Faulkner.

My Interests

My muse:

The rest of my time is spent obsessing 'til exhaustion then completely abandoning:

Getting the words out of my head.

Chasing truth.

Im no Da Vinci but man-oh-man can I doodle.

Conversation addict.

Exploring the nature of the universe.

Sarcasm.

Ideas that can only be approximated by unexplained phenomenon, paradox, and theoretical exception.

Caffeine .

Technophilia.

Digital Art.

Divining insights with chaos magicians and waxing philosophic with the crazies.

Manufactured digital egos [yes, I'm making fun of you & I here].

Anime.

Religion, philosophy, and other artifacts of human thought.

The game of kings.

Feeding the curiosity machine inside me.

Anything else that makes the world feel bigger.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not that picky. Whomever you are right now is fine.
...as long as you are willing to go back in time.
