About Me

A prototype. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Mutiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous..

I'm a writer. A music man.
An observer and a friend.

My Interests

Music. The Truth. Music. Guitar. Football. Philosophy. Travel. Martial Arts. The World. Life. The soul. Nature. Culture. Sound. The human spirit. The politics of the malignant. History.
The birds, the bees. Rain. Especialy tropical storms. And being outside in one. With someone cool.
Dragonflies, butterflies and tigers.
