About Me


I've started taking walks with the dogs late at night. Late enough to know I won't see any people or cars in the neighborhood. I'll hear tractor trailers from the highway and trains coming in from across the river. Otherwise, the only thing I hear is footsteps. We just walk, sometimes for an hour or until I can't physically stand the cold any longer. I know the dogs enjoy it and they sleep later than I do now, but I'm not completely sure what I get out of it. I do know that it's beautiful being the only one on the street. There's nothing to think about, but it's all that I do. Not that I think about anything specific, I don't have to. I like getting caught up in the buildings and the light, wondering why everything feels different and better when it's not being brought down by the distractions of passers by or basic daily urgencies. It feels so good to be consumed by all of it, from the escape to the relative warmth my apartment offers to welcome me back. It's nice and it's pure and maybe that's the only point that matters.

My Interests

Insanely comfortable pink furniture that feeds on your energy like some sort of crazy sofa vampire, Chuck Norris total gyms, lovin' the night life but playing hard to get with the boogie, rockin' out, climbing buildings, all things concerning Larry and Posey, bowling, beer, riding the last winged unicorn through the valley of the orcs, growing facial hair.

Thanks Nashville
