About Me

What Crispy says about me: To be appreciated in one's own lifetime.If you are reading this to try and figure out if Jon's an okay guy, chances are, you're a lightweight. I don't mean to be a jerk about it, and I admit that I was once a lightweight too.Yet Jon has been around the block a few times. A couple of times with me, sometimes with other jerks, a few times with nobody but himself...and he always picks himself up and moves on. Through that kind of shit he's seen and learned a lot. I don't know that I'd call him a modern day Keroac; Jonathan takes showers and is more witty than earthy. He's more like an undiscovered, sunnier Francis Bacon. But if you're a lightweight and don't already appreciate what Jon is, just be aware that he's lived a lot of life and he's a lot classier than those methed-up, worked-out, circuit-partying morons out there that think 'ennui' is the name of that club next to Micky's.Once you're tired of the fluff, meet someone with soul and style.
