by dread i'm inspired, by fear i'm amused.

About Me

I'm slow and dim; I'm incapable of carrying on even the most meager of conversations in a pleasant tone of voice; I loathe stringing together coherent sentences to the point that interactions on an intimately personal level are a near impossibility; I don't adjust to time-zones well nor do I eat food products colored unnaturally red; I vehemently protest the practice of applying anything that lathers directly onto the skin; I see so far into the future that the screams of others obscure any information that may be useful; I refuse to shake hands with anyone who brushes their teeth prior to having breakfast; I eat poorly; I crate problems (yes, crate); I believe that horse racing is a more valuable exercise for the mind than listening to your priest; I am reminded daily that I create nothing but the refuse I carry outside to dispose; I can see why fish are attracted to shiny objects; I respectfully disagree with those who tie their laces using the bunny-in-the-hole method; I avoid long walks and shun sunny beaches; I absolutely will send back the soup if it's tepid. I don't respect those who have closed their eyes to the world. I fold a commendable paper airplane.

My Interests

blue.

a busted chin in place of a coherent worldview. travelling for escape. black like iron. pine tar and an old mitt. questioning eyebrows. "the majority, by their silence, shall pay for days like these." popular culture surrounding depression era criminals. the greyed muzzle of an experienced dog. high lonesome sound. that one old miner in butte. the carotid as an emotional state indictator.

Movies:

Television:

Books:

Letter to his friend Suvorin, April 8, 1892

"Levitan the painter and I went out to the woodcock mating area yesterday evening. He fired at a woodcock and the bird, wounded in the wing, fell in a puddle. I picked it up. It had a long beak, large...

disquiet

my heart is pacing, rattling it's tenebrous bone cage cell with a small tin cup. (humming unintelligibly) the warden is smiling.
