About Me

Anamorphosis
Representing one individual, (i) am a small
detail, (i) cannot live without. i am independence,
confidence and a sheer determination. (i) am not
just a letter but an experience of another place.
With a new perspective of the world (i) am
an innovation, as much as a risk, (i) am a
combination of all the ideas I have seen,
that have frustrated you enough to believe.
Looking creatively (i) see the reality of who (i)
am, what (i) mean to you and you mean to me.
Do not dampen be unique. Don't fit, stand out.
Solve the enigma of creativity, with all of our eyes.
:::: Thinks:
What is big, what is small, what's little, what's large, what (the hell) is that box I
am breathing within? I think I have been thinking so much about what to write,
there is now only a single solution to explain all of these thoughts. I must type
quickly, I must speak fast, I must show you how my mind thinkgs, and then we
can count how many thinks I have had! So, a big bold think about nothing leads to
a bigger bolder think about everything. Thinking 'out of that box' but in this
bubble, I think you think I am crazy; I think perhaps you're right. I begin to wonder
what I was thinking to write about these thinks. Oh! I cannot think about thinking
when I am talking about a thought. I will not stop to think, yet my mind has not
stopped thinking.
