About Me


Troy n' Shelley in Happier Days
"Every generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, and fulfill it or betray it."
-Frantz Fanon

I love people who are pissed and do something about it. I love people who cry when they witness injustice. I love people who are wounded each time the world is wounded. I love people who are fucked up by the world. I love people who are strong and fight back. I love children and the people who love them. I love people who realize that tears are salve. I love people who defy characterization. I love people who live by their principles, and people who try to live by their principles, but fall short.

My Interests

"Oh, Pardon me,
thou bleeding piece of Earth
That I am meek and gentle
with these butchers."
-William Shakespeare

I'd like to meet:


"Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few."
- Shelley (Percy B... not me)
