About Me

“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!”..........“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop.”..........“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.”..........“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”..........“What’s in store for me in the direction I don’t take?” - Jack Kerouac
