About Me

"I was born to laugh. I learned to laugh through my tears. I was born to love. I'm gonna learn to love without fear."
-Over the Rhine

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-Jack Kerouac

"Love Love Love is what we should be known for. Love Love Love: it's the how and it's the why we live and breathe and we die."
-Derek Webb
