CURRENT MISSION

write words, live large

ABOUT ME

i smile a lot, write music, and try not to talk too much. i travel to see things unfold and to feel that great big empty thing. music and literature are the things i care about most in the world. I like music that is well made and made out of love for the art, in any genre at all. my taste in books revolves mostly around latin american novels and twentieth century american poetry. i like people who make me laugh and people who make me think. and i appreciate good manners.

PHILOSOPHY

i try to be good.
