About Me


Carpe Diem!! Spontaniety is the spice of life.
I graduated from Miami University in 2006, and as life has it, I moved to Minnesota to scope out the 20 somethings scene. Maybe I'll plant myself in a little obscure art house somewhere and dine on the irony and wit of the modernist writers. My heart goes out to my family and friends back in Ohio.
Whatever dreams may come, I'll be rejecting this reserved studious shit for something a little more entertaining. May the road rise to meet you! ;-)

Heroes:

I wanted to hide behind a mask last night, so I pulled on my Poison Ivy suite and swept through the city until I came across a man claiming to be an action hero. He said unless I converted my villain into a superhero, we would be sworn enemies for the rest of our lives.

Deflected Delusions   Were it that my eyes Were the window to my soul, Irises in emerald draperies More fragile than you know.   Glass etched in intricate designs They would deflect your gaz...

Reminiscing of you&

(rough draft) After dusk when in the evening, Blue sifts through the draperies, And the night tethers time, To my bedpost transiently...   Life is silenced for the hours Which call upon our memor...

Through the smoke, your possessions are liquid, The flowing current of the chrome on your car. And in the heat, your words are weather, Blowing in over my personal sky.   Like the flame, your tho...
