About Me

I live in Los Angeles, I write, read, watch, cut, and paste. I'm interested in cinema, novels, short stories, comics, philosophy, esoterica, world history and politics, erotica, mythology, and collage. If you want to know anything else just ask.

You can be my friend if...

The real friend is in here (points to chest), and if you befriend him you will never be alone. Now if you happen to not have a fun-loving sentient tapeworm living inside you, you can always be friends with me. I'm polite, friendly, and I appreciate comfortable silences.
