About Me


Every part of my body felt electric.
My chest ached and my head throbbed with the great terrible limitless possibility of the morning, and when it came, the sky was washed white, everything was new, and I hadn't slept at all.
-Eggers




"who journeyed to Denver, who died in Denver, who
came back to Denver & waited in vain, who
watched over Denver & brooded & loned in
Denver and finally went away to find out the
Time, & now Denver is lonesome for her heroes"
-Ginsberg

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


It is no parlor trick:
There is a skull and, in the dark, it is glowing.
Somehow it is now floating above us all.Listen: The skull is speaking.
It is saying your name.
