: About Me

Writing is my passion.

I have a collection of poems I've written but never shared~

I have a line of greeting cards I've never completed~

I have a notebook of stand up comedy that I've never stood up with~

I have a menagerie of some of my all time personal best quotes that I haven't finished~

Society has evolved into one, big, materialistic, status- worshiping, pit of vanity. The reality is - values are no longer valued. Individuality has blended into the masses.

The perception is - success is defined in dollars. Happiness is reached through tangible form...
