Justice is truth in action. Beauty is truth in nature.

About Me

I was born in a swamp in Louisiana and raised by an alligator and a voodoo priestess. I've been told I think too much. I have night terrors and am pretty sure I am frequently visited by ghosts. Sometimes I count my footsteps for fun. My dog snores louder than I do. I think philosophy and art history have real world applications and I am a big fan of water.
