About Me

I enjoy art and life... I enjoy making altered books, and going to museums... I enjoy performance art, and taking photographs. I've recently become fond of ceramics.Sometimes I wear cat-eye glasses, and sometimes people think that's weird. I go to the beach after hurricanes and collect stuff...I say a lot of random things, and I ask a lot of random questions.. I'm just curious.Sometimes I wish that people would like me... but then I realise that I could never like them back, and all becomes well again.

Want to know more? You'll just have to i.m. me... Screen name-ifoughtpirahna

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night
