About Me


Have seen the healing effects of an acoustic guitar.

Am overwhelmed by the details.

Would call New York home if it wasn't so damn cold.

Impulsive.

The Beautiful Poem

I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking about you. Pissing a
few moments ago I looked down at my penis
affectionately. Knowing it has been inside you twice
today makes me feel beautiful. 3 a.m.

Finding Is Losing Something Else

Finding is losing something else.
I think about, perhaps even mourn,
what I lost to find this.

Music:

Soulful music. Music that affects you. Shuggie Otis. Tool. Pixies. Bonobo. The Shins. Jamiroquai.

Hip-Hop. Everything from Anticon(Sole)to Mos-Def and Talib Kweli. Anything that makes you think in the car and move on the floor.

Portishead. Ruby. Bjork. Tori Amos. Regina Spektor. Anything deep and insightful; mourning and all at once jarring.

Wake me.

Waking up this morning went something like this: Open eyes. Sunlight streaming through sheets of glass covering the north, west, and south walls of my room. Beyond that, a lazy Willow, shedding tears ...

Earthquake Day.

Lots of shaken nerves... Guitar playing... Corona's bought after an hours wait at a convenience store. And when the power came back on... ...Canadian Thanksgiving Day at Erin's. Even certain dis...

Temporary insanity.

    In the past few weeks, I have found in myself a new blooming. I try to pinpoint it in the unfolding of events:   Sitting alone in a bar for three hours. Later, in the backseat of a...

Enough!

I have decided that I want no more. No more negativity, no more uncertainty, no more indecision. It is uninvited. I am in the best and worst place in my life and one more incident, one more thought, o...

Airports

When I was a child airports held a certain magic. My father worked at an airport, and when my sister and myself were unable to stay at home, he would bring us to work with him. I would watch th...

Like so many thoughts.

The sand relents in moist indecision beneath my feet, and clutching material of words and ideal to my chest, I rape it's unbroken surface, aimlessly directing myself down it's length. The beach...

Castles made of sand fall into the sea eventually...

I have found that nothing is given and everything is meant to be taken. Friendships, responsibilities, accomplishments; all are fleeting unless gripped feverishly and with unending respect. A close f...
