About Me

Keeps busy, can't help it. A good time. Happy in the heavy silence. Leaves a mark. Powers through. Just a little cocky. Has had a perfect day or two. Puts the horse before the cart and then drives in circles. Ferocious protector. Reluctant aggressor. Prefers your natural color, whoever you are, whatever it is. Wants to if you want to. Like the weather. Likes the weather. Dislikes the whether-or-nots. Connects the dots. Tries to be everything he says he is. On the road. Acutely Aware. Prepared. Says whatever's funniest. Crosswords in pen. Sudoku in pencil. Shadowboxes. A curse-breaker. Likes to give the impression he knows what he doing. Is usually 50-50. Nice. Farsighted. Sweet-toothed. Has never flown under anyone's radar, always sighted, never identified. A basement transformer. Absorbs awe quickly, adapts, moves on. Consistently mistaken for an optimist. Jaded and Faded. Has excellent hallway vision. Spins the wheel perpetually. Doesn't even remember the number he bet. Signal-mixer. Mess. Messy. Madman. Busted tire flapping heartbeat regular. Talks to freaks like normal people, doesn't talk to normal people all that often, talks to them like freaks. An individual and individualist. Has gun-shy dreams that often dessert him. They always come back. Hides things in plain view. Daniel Plainview. A fantasy time-machine pilot. Runs with the Hare. Hunts with the hounds. Reacts visciously to intoxicants, often dangerously. Denies Arcana. Defines Science. Defines Arcana. Denies Science. In that order. Keeps everyone else's secrets, spends his own. Improving by repetition. Does not fear death (so long as he isn't living for anyone else at the time). Will not go to heaven. Will not go to hell. Plans to retire, post-mortem, to the wilderness that pre-historic souls inhabit. Would like it if you visited. Doesn't mind if you stay.

My Blog

Geuss who’s still alive...

Ok, so you know it's been a while. I mean, the last blog I posted on here was about a day off work for snow. It's been in the 90s most of this week. What can I say? I'm negligent. There's been a sea c...

so late it’s early

It's 6am. I don't feel like sleeping just yet. Akron's covered in ice, not snow, ice. The main roads weren't so bad, they've been salted. You can ice skate (kind of) on the backstreets, drag your feet...
