Do you remember the 21st night of September?

About Me

I'm a married Asian-American bourgeois-bohemian with metrosexual tendencies. I love being asked, "Where were you born?" so that I can truthfully answer "Cleveland" and revel in that brief moment of ensuing discomfort.

I write .

Imagine an escape. Imagine that your own shadow on the wall is a perfect door. Imagine a song stronger than penicillin. Imagine a spring with water that mends broken bones. Imagine a drum which wraps itself around your heart. Imagine a story that puts wood on the fireplace.
-Sherman Alexie, "Imagining the Reservation"
