About Me



Stop talking about love. Every a--hole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts.

-The Last Kiss-

What's A Family Anyway?

You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start; it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

I'd like to meet:



This bridge will only take you halfway there,
To those mysterious lands you long to see.
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair,
and moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails
and wondrous worlds I’ve known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there.
The last few steps you have to take alone.

-Shel Silverstein

My absolute favorite book is Watchmen by Alan Moore. The deconstruction of the conventional superhero archtype set in an alternate 1985. The things this book does is absolutely mind blowing.
