About Me

I AM: poet, screenwriter, welder, compulsive doodler, perenially uncool, accidental buddhist, and stuff like that there.I THINK: education is a must, but you don't have to go to college to be educated, you just have to open your eyes and ears and try shutting your mouth for a freakin' minute.FAVORITE PEOPLE: my brother and my sister because they are courageous and outrageous, and hockeygator just because.
