About Me

Semi-punk-pescatarian-buddhist-with-a-side-of-pagan-raging-p acifist-art-music junkie-cock-obsessed-aquarian-scorpio-rising fag. Existentially fragmented and syntactically hyphenated. Overeducated and underpayed. Conundrum extraordinaire. Sometimes a wee bit cranky if ya try to wake me up before 2pm. (Hey, I work graveyards) I live in New Orleans now, but I still experience irrepressible longings for cold rugged Oregon coastline. I like Orchids and epiphytic cacti, seafood and good wine. My time is pretty much divided between uptown and the marigny/bywater area where I can be found pedaling my bike like a lunatic on wheels and shouting obscenities at geriatric assholes in midlife-crisis cars. My beloved is a dago, coonass redskin. My partner in ADHD crime. ..
