Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on.

About Me



I love buildings, I love trees. I stand still while I race around the world.

My Interests

Languages, cooking, fashion, walking aimlessly in bookstores, puppy petting, kitty petting, sweating, jewelry, travel, escapism and confrontation.

I'd like to meet:



Every skyline.

Every cuisine.

Things that last - If no one recognizes the longevity and potential of places and people, then no one will recognize it in themselves and that would be wretched.

"September" and "Together" - Words as colour.

"September" - Blue.Cold. It is the sky throwing around it's cloudiness and dropping the leaves all around you. It is the death of green and the reprisal of bare, sparse existence. It tests you, allure...

"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm living with a dizzy life now because it's all been excavated and re-filed by skin pushing and admiration. I'm quieter than usual. There's less noise crackling out of my mouth and less roman candle...
