Even castles in the sky can do with a fresh coat of paint. ~Haruki Murakami; "South of the Border, West of the Sun"

Allow me to capture a part of your journey, because this too shall pass.

In the meantime, let me share some of mine.


Bare with me on this page. I am trying to be better and do better. With that, I want to express my journey without using shock tactics. I used to express where I came from in a way that would shock people into not asking any more questions. It was a way to keep people at arm's length and never truly take off my mask. I would hide behind the tragedies and blunders of my life. In recent years, I have grown to own my life. I say "although I am not proud of this, these are facts and I cannot change them." I failed to express that I work hard every day to change what I can, and that's my future. Strangely enough, I have come to realize that changing my future starts with being present.


I plan to share the events in my life that have led me here. I plan to share the methods I have learned to cope and prepare myself for dealing with future mistakes; in an affable way. My thought process has been ineffable for so long. Now I am able to turn the indescribable into the effable. That is what I wish to help instill in those around me. You'll hear me speak about Bruce Lee a lot. His interpretation of life, and the life he led, always spoke to me. He took the stage, knowing damn well how he looked and sounded, to instill the very same thing I look to inspire here.

“To express oneself honestly - not lying to oneself. And to express myself honestly. Now THAT, my friend, is very hard to do.”
