: About Me

I'm a subtle Southern man with all the downhome charm of a bullwhipped mastadon in the middle of rutting season. I take to redheads like famine to Ethiopia and I spend money like I actually have some. Sufficed to say I'm less than what I could be and more than I should. With a sloppy drunkard's wit and a junkie's physique, I tend to ramble on with a cigarette between my teeth just as long as no one's listening. If by chance I'm caught in a crowd, I tend to hasten my smoking, shorten my responses and pay close attention to where my hands are.

My passion is ...

not very Christ-like

I know too much about ...

too little

My parents always told me ...

I'd go blind

My childhood ambition ...

to be a cop, a soldier, a sailor... all of which I drew myself doing... then it dawned on me to be an artist

My favorite memory ...

I ain't gettin' into that one

Why I write ...

I thoroughly enjoy crafting scenerios, creating worlds, defining people and then putting them through a whirlwind that is hopefully entertaining

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading suspence/thrillers. I'm watching alot of cartoons and comedies (ATHF!). I'm listening to anything by Maynard (TOOL, APC)

My first job ...

My best moment ...

I hope it has yet to come but so far I'd say it was the moment of clarity that got me sober

My inspiration ...

It comes from anywhere... usually unexpectedly

Right after one particularly bright Homosapien said, "I am," his buddy, the curious ape (you can call him George if you want), asked him, "Why?" And we have been wondering this ever since. We, as a species, have concocted every manner of myth, tale, religion and science to answer this question but have never been able to whittle the possibilities down to anything less than infinite. Sure, many folk believe the answer in which they were raised to believe is the correct one and what better way to spread your belief than to breed it? But an honest look at the question should reveal a spectrum...
