About Me



Hmm...I'm not sure why I find it so hard to describe myself. Well, I'm nice--probably too nice for my own good. I'm extremely optimistic, and try to look for the best in everyone. Right now I'm just happy to be alive, and want to hang out with my friends and enjoy all the great things that life has to offer--like tequila, and live music. I love traveling, reading, drinking coffee no matter what the time may be, writing, laughing, wine, ya know, all the good shit. I enjoy real people. I can't stand a liar. I've recently realized that I've stayed an acquaintance to, if not friends with too many people who are fake, liars, assholes, bitches, and the like. Not gonna happen anymore. So if you can't keep it real, then don't talk to me. Other than that, I look forward to meeting you!

Life, indeed bittersweet.

Shiraz. Selfless grape.Hours, days, months spent ripening; knowing full well it's fate.  To be crushed, outter skin bursting in myriad places, spewing it's sickly-sweet pulpy innards in a all dir...

Observation, interpretation

The muffled, yet deafening roar of the little plane's engines drones on hypnotically, calmly, instilling a sense of raw power and confidence in each seatbelted passenger. The rythmic thumping jostle ...
