: About Me

~In the end we are struck not by what we have written, but by what we haven't~

I don't think I'll ever tire of philosophy, music, writing, painting or learning. I write in and fill my art sketch books obsessively. I may be a cynic, but somewhere yet to be unveiled i'm pretty sensitive too. I love Ziggy Marley, Marilyn Manson, and Ani Difranco. I speak french and german. Sometimes I get homesick for places i truely thought i hated. It's been a tough year or so, but i'm gonna make it through this year.

My passion is ...

Being about ten and asking my mom why I couldn't marry this girl I was friends with. I was upset because I couldn't in America so I asked which countries I could go to to do that.

Why I write ...

It's expression, knowledge, art. We live through words
