About Me

I make pretty pictures for communicating dreams and ideas. What's your idea?
Sometimes, I cringe when words leave my mouth. I forget things and sometimes, I'll forget how to speak to you. We've probably been friends for sometime, now. But I'll still walk away from you. And just when you're about to make your point. I eat random and mysterious objects from where ever I may find them. It may be some kind of eating disorder, like pica but i find no pleasure in it. Usually, I won't know I've done it unless it's something gross. Then, yuck! One time I ate a large glob of Crisco.
"I thought for a bit. Some people have great ideas maybe once or twice in their life, and then they discover electricity or fire or outer space or something. I mean, the kind of brilliant ideas that change the whole world. Some people never have them at all. I get them two or three times a week." - "The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish" by Neil Gaiman

If Don’t Make Money, It Don’t Make Cents

Zombies!

At some point in our relationship, I'm sure I've expressed my deep-seeded and wholly misguided fear of the zombie nation. I'm talking Romero-inspired, insatiably flesh-eating, walking-dead hordes. It'...

Masochism or Good Health? You Decide.

For two weeks I'd been nursing myself back to health from the flu. It was yucky but I'm feeling better now. Yesterday, I went to the gym for four hours and doubled up on my reps to make up for it. An ...
