In The Shadow Of A Shattered Skyline

About Me

M.R. Johnson is: A semi-successful author
A wickedly successful procrastinator
A failed protestor
A skilled photographer
A Film Noir connoisseur
A literature junkie
I say mean things about people walking past me in a crowd. But when I do I am talking to myself, so the joke is on me.
Also, my gender is probably set wrong.

My Interests

I like to look for meaning in odd things:
. . .Black and White Things
. . .Graffitied Things
. . .Homeless Things
. . .Dying Things
. . .Green Things Growing Through Cracks in the Pavement
. . .Mother Things and Child Things
. . .Tattoed Things
. . .Stainglass Things
All Kinds of Things.

I'd like to meet:

Myself in ten years...or ten years ago...which would essentially be the same thing.
That one person who has read my book, and hates it, but has an amazing reason why. Because that's the one person who has read my book and loved it.

Music:

I like sound airborne wings make when attached to something with a broken foot . . . It's like magic.
I like the sound of honking horns in the rain.

Movies:

My favorite movie was the one about the writer who lived an extraordinary life and died with no regrets. Have you seen it? Yeah . . . me neither.
