Oh, Also

Reflections or On Knowing Thyself

Basically, I don't want to be pretentious. I make a point to like what I like and dislike what I dislike and be real about it.

I like to write because I'm sort of good at it. I like the way words flow out like endless rain into a paper cup and how I can make you laugh or draw you in to the drama with a mere sentence.

I like to take photographs because I like to freeze and manipulate beauty and make it my own. I also just like to have something out of the ordinary in my life, even if I'm not "the bestest". (name that tune!)

I like to read books because they make me smarter than you. Plain and simple. I like finding the relationships between things that matter and sometimes things that don't matter. Its beautiful.

I like to cook because I am an epicurean glutton.

I like cigars because I like winkles.

I want to have lived a full life, but I also want to have lived a balanced life.

I want people to see what I've done and be provoked to wonder.

I want people to see what I've done and be provoked to wander.

And somehow it will all come out in the wash.
