"...because the only people that interest me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yearn or say a commonplace thing... but burn, burn, burn like roman candles across the night."--Jack Kerouac

Fast Food Nation. Conversations With God. The Alchemist. A Wrinkle In Time. City Of Night. Dreams Underfoot... anything by Charles De Lint. Wicked. America The Beautiful. The God Delusion. Anything to do with Philosophy or Alternative Healing. I love books, mostly non-fiction. I love to learn.
I don't know that I have a "hero," so to speak. There are some people who've had a profound influence on my life: Paul Dyer, friend and writer/poet/intellectual; Anne-Marie MacKay, friend, muse, and creator of the Magus; Melanie Smigielski, high-school friend and kindred spirit; Whitney Johnson, college friend and talented singer; Salina Wyant, high-school friend and beautiful soul; Anthony Hayes, brief sliver of the past and seed-planter; Marc Wheeler, roommate and partner in crime; Carlos Campos, teacher, musician and metaphysical guru; Melessa Jean, sister and creative collaborator. Rob Willhite, meditation master and light-giver. They are all heroes in their own way.
