I've learned and been schooled by some of the most unpleasant and unexpected circumstances. I've been rewarded by some of the weirdest and most unlikely outcomes to situations I never thought I'd see through to the end. I've done a lot and witnessed the rest. I've given plenty and taken more. I've endured the misfortune of seeing myself casted as the villain as well as the excitement and pressure of bearing the hero's role in life's little day to day skits. I don't feel as if I've gone through any more than the average person I may or may not pass without speaking to on a normal day. However, I just may pay a little more attention to the honing of my observation and comprehension skills as I seek to make sense of the arts, purposes, and sciences of life.
I've always been fascinated by anything that stimulates the senses or piques the imagination whether it be pain, the thrill of victory or the anguish of anxiety. Early on in life, I recognized the healing qualities that lie in a meaningful dream just as well as in a strongly moving conversation or sexual encounter between two or more people. I've known love. And had the pleasure of separating it from possessiveness and obsession, uncovering an undistorted view of it's true appreciation. And when writing I do my best to convey these views. Not unlike any other art, it becomes my outlet. Using words to deliver a message that words alone may not be equipped to deliver... If that makes sense.
My birthplace and home has been Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the majority of my life but I've traveled and lived in a number states. Business brought me to some places. Leisure led me to others. And lack of choice forced my residences in the rest. My experiences with new and different people in places that were once foreign to me are among my true life's treasures understanding that those memories can never be taken nor tainted. And my dream is that my art may find appreciation outside of me in the same way and magnitude that I've grown to appreciate the art of so many others.view less
