Do It Real, Do It Right

We are the Eyes of the Universe

About Me

I'm an artist born and raised in New York, I've lived other places and will move all over this world as it spins in cosmic fury. I'm a co-founder of The Buffalo Readings an open mind open heart poetry organization. We put out video podcasts every week. I've been published on the West and east coasts respectively. Recently I've begun writing a blog with my friends called Brick is Red . I also co-direct a video podcast about comic book culture called Pete's Basement. New episodes come out every Tuesday!
I play shakuhachi and blues harmonica among other things. I also like to play Go . I'm on a path to understand myself and help others see reality clearly. I don't consider myself a teacher of any kind, but rather a student of reality. Peace.
How You Live Your Life
You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences.
You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them. How Do You Live Your Life?I've recently taken up photography
I got a thing for animated cats :3
