ABOUT ME

I sometimes perform my poetry on a stage and then get judged. I've dissected, like, four frogs and a couple snails. I tried to learn Nahuatl but that was really hard. I like languages but don't have the dedication to actually learn them. As such, I can describe my immediate family in basic terms in German, Arabic, Irish, Japanese, and Latin.

I feel like the world is fucked-up on a deep and fundamental level and that most people are in a similar situation. But not in, like, a bad way. It's just, pretty much everybody is full of parasitic bacteria that help digest their food, and there are more synapses in each of their brains than there are stars in the known universe, and the whole of molecular biology is organic molecules banging into each other at random and... yeah. Fucked-up. In a non-bad way. For a given value of non-bad.

I'm laid-back to the point of paralysis (but only sometimes! Sometimes I'm just laid-back).

PHILOSOPHY

Things happen and then other things happen and then some more shit happens after that, which causes a continuing cascade of shit happening to other shit. Same as it ever was.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I got a really sweet pair of shades for, like, three bucks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you how different species of animals have sex. I know some pretty good webcomics. I can jam out to the B-52s' first album continuously.
