About Me

I guess you could say I'm an avid collector of subjective experiences. I like to weigh them against each other, sort them out by category, sometimes blend them all together, add, subtract, multiply, and divide your input against mine to shape a consensus reality with those I hold close to my heart - and in simpler terms, to create the story in which we all have active or passive roles, and the occassional cameo appearance.

I was born into dogma, as were we all, perhaps because it was necessary for me to understand the difference between personal truth and myth, though both are equally subjective. I suppose I had to learn the box exists to get outside of it.

I've been told that I have a way with words, as I should, because they were my first friends to shape my impressions of the world into something symbolic and intangible. Like our own minds, they are powerful and it is my opinion that it is of dire need for every single person to master their own words. Their reckless use inspires destruction, just as their masterful use inspires creation.

I've never quite fit well inside any institution, social or public, I suppose because I regarded external, unadapted, and idealogical conformity as a subtle, yet dangerous entity of slavery. I believe it is ok for a time to adopt others ideals and stories while we are learning about ourselves, but that we must eventually break free of those adopted models to create our own. To me, this is adaption. This is evolution. This is the ultimate source of creation and the path of personal freedom.
