About Me

I am the great I AM.---------------"And God knows, when spring comes to Paris the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise. But it was not only this--it was the intimacy with which his eye rested upon the scene. It was his Paris. A man does not need to be rich, nor even a citizen, to feel this way about Paris. Paris is filled with poor people--the proudest and filthiest lot of beggars that ever walked the earth, it seems to me. And yet they give the illusion of being at home. It is that which distinguishes the Parisian from all other metropolitan souls" - Henry Miller

Books:

Books about Rikki. Steven King - The master of visuals. Roald Dahl - A genius with perspective. Most nonfiction and diaries. Anything that changes my way of thinking or forces me to cry my balls off. Aaron Rindlisbacher - Beside Human. Dan Brown - Incapable of writing a bad book. The Winter Of Our Discontent - Amazing. A book that will piss you off. It basically says that if you spend your whole life telling yourself that once you reach something or once a particular thing happens you will be ultimately happy, think again. An unappreciated man wants to be more, for himself and for his family, and once he achieves this, he realizes he spent his whole life working for something he ended up not wanting. Dave Eggers - Enough can't be said. He is amazing. Philip Roth - Infuckingcredible. March by Geraldine Brooks. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. Dostoyevsky. All I've read by Kent Haruf. I also enjoy Chaim Potok.

Heroes:

Amy...She has made me feel so many things for the first time and inspires whomever she touches. She makes everyone love everything. ------- David Lachowsky...my friend since I was seven. He is so random. He has been the reason for a good time so many times for so many people and he knows how to make someone feel like they actually exist. ------- Bri...She had to raise her mom. And she never complains about the lengths she must go to. ------- Angie...She puts up with tons of crap and always finds time for her friends. ------- Mark...I don't really know why. ------- Rikki...She never gives up and has unbeatable resilience. ------- All others who have made a lasting impact on me.
