me iThink therefore iKickass

I'm a lover and a fighter, a romantic and a cynic. I read deep philosophical tomes and watch cartoons. I have swam in oceans, hiked on mountains, ran races, driven through the US from coast to coast, and sky-dived. I've made split second decisions to drive from the big city to the country. I believe in love and its ability to supersede any obstacle, but my feet are firmly grounded. I'm not afraid to admit weakness, and I think it is very important to make virtue a habit. A muscle grows stronger with use, and a mind stretched to new dimensions is never the same again.

They asked me why I chose you

A cynical, insensitive asshole who shreds others to pieces

And cannot possibly love wholeheartedly

But they don’t see you 

They’ve never seen you pick up a pen

And paint pictures with words

And make syllables sing

And make music so beautiful that even the gods has to stop and listen
