About Me



I enjoy long walks on the beach and spending time drawing unicorns with a pencil. I like cornucopias a.k.a. "horns of plenty. I can often be found eating assorted flavors of Hot Pockets and / or Totino's Pizza Rolls. Mini-pizza-bagels with a little bit of fontina grated on top are also the tops! ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- That said, If you would prefer to know me or perhaps attempt to understand me beyond a surface level my suggestion would be to A) read my blogs, this of course is for the more patient of you. Or B) Ask me questions of which you believe the response would be definitive in regards to my character. Or C) just add me to your friends list and wait to see what happens. ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------INTJ.

Palming some calm.

Outside the window of my 2nd floor room there is a dogwood tree in full blossom. As its touched by gentle breezes it sheds. Backlit by the morning sun it glows a brilliant snow white. For a few more ...

The importance of being earnest.

What is important? Work is important. To me work and a true-calling are synonymous. My calling (for the moment) is building and designing art, architectural related work and ideas. If I didn't love...

Spooky visage

Its semi-interesting how a night of binge drinking is followed by a) a hangover and b) a day spent wandering in fog of introspective thought. Sort of the old what goes up must come down deal. Not b...
