It's hard to find the moral highground when we're all standing in the mud.

About Me

What purpose would it serve for me to tell you about myself? The obvious outcome is your dreams becoming plagued with every violent nightmare imaginable. I highly suggest moving on to look at someone else's profile. Perhaps you can find a nice gallery somewhere with pictures of little kittens in baskets. Wouldn't that be fun? Anything other than reading about me. I promise you, you'll regret it. However, if you have read this far, it must mean your mind is made up, don't say I didn't warn you...For the time being, I reside in the state of Colorado, where most of my time is occupied, currently, with acting. Apparantly I have some sort of knack for it, though I can't imagine how. The only thing worse than staring at this face for long periods of time, is having to listen to my voice with it. Another very dear passion of mine is writing. I endeavour in both poetry and prose and, I assume, fail quite miserably at both, though i'll leave that up to you to decide. From there you should know me well enough to make your own assumptions (three eyes, bald, webbed feet, etc...) Anything your minds eye fails to conjure, you're welcome to ask. I truly cannot wait to meet you. Until then, farewell.

A little brilliance...

Many old folktales portray Death as a cloaked figure who knocks on the doors of the souls he has come to whisk away, but that is not always the way of the world. Sometimes Death may approach very...
