Chevalier

My past is perilous and each scar I bare sings, monuments to where I have been and melodies to where

About Me

I grew up in a small town in South Texas with all the ingredients required to make a young man yearn for more experience and understanding. I'm always looking forward to learning and experiencing new things.
I like to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a dork. I love music, movies, and the sciences. I like to hang out with friends, meet new people, and see different places.
In no particular order, I am a(n): Listener, Student, Employee, Friend, Son, Watcher, Brother, Musician, Wanderer, Consumer, Writer, Seeker, Texan, Security Officer, Collector, Driver, Roommate, American, Reader, Cast Away, Dreamer.

a dark break

I can’t tell tears from rain, or wind from uncertainty. The quandaries that ail me down to the quark are unsympathetic to my aims. I’m an addict to these feelings, these chemicals that f...

the truth, not so bad

I never knew someone could feel so lonely surrounded by so many people. Why should people like me have to exist? What purpose do we serve? Is there any way out of this never ending ghost-like existenc...

They say that history repeats itself, and maybe it does. Today felt like a dream. I went about things the way I always have, but for some reason nothing felt the same. I couldn't wrap my min...

When I think about falling into a working routine and living an uneventful mundane life, I also begin to understand that it is our experiences and ideas, which even at their most simplistic, challenge...

I can feel the pull of winter trying to grab me out of sight, the lights of memory inside lead me back to drawn out nights. While stars to charm the logic out of minds of intellect, get lost among the...
