Hello world?

This is my obligatory first blog post.

Well, not that I have never created a blog before, because I have, but after years of lying dormant my words are about to resurface in this new medium called blogger.. hmm..


A little bit about me (because I may as well be a stranger)..


I'm always thinking. Always. There's not a road that my mind doesn't wander through. I'm a Taurus born in the year of the Rabbit, and I'm sure as hell a living example of this.


This is also in some form a disclaimer of sorts, as I am a libertarian. I do have a burning passion in practicing politics, but I hate politicians and never will be one. I stand up for freedom, and won't bend over for the man.


I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and have traveled a route of over 3800 miles in my beat Ford Focus that currently has a screw in one tire that I can't afford to repair so I keep an eye on the air level, a busted window that I poorly keep in the up position with duct tape, and my cup holder has more cigarette ashes than an ashtray, to explore the la-la land of Los Angeles. I have seen a lot of shit in my life thus far, created a lot of stories, and that my friends will come another day.


I'm a poet, an artist, a musician, and just a curious and good soul looking for a purpose. 


I like to make people smile, think, and live merrily whenever I can.


Here's a few words to leave you with.



Introverted Red



This black cloud is like no other
A hurricane, bestowing thunder
Sweeping souls
No warnings told
Devastating hearts of gold
Imprisoning good thoughts
Intentions wrought
Pain persisting
With no one listening
A silence found
As trees fall down
No escaping
These winds are taking
All strive
While vessels breathe
In synchronicity
Without simplicity
Peculiar rhythm
Creates a schism
Within these souls
Forever old
Have lost their gold
While the blackness consumes them
