i can't carry squat, but can make time fly. if we go out for coffee, i gotcha. :)

since complete candor and me are good friends, or at least casual acquaintances, i want you to know a couple of things.

i was raised by circus clowns. when i was eight, they ditched me in the mountains on their way to a gig in plattsburgh, ny. i ran with wolves for a bit, then lumberjacks. lastly, mohicans.

i don't have anything remotely resembling a day job. i work every day, but since i'm doing what i love to do -- writing up a theory of the universe and putting music in the air -- i really can't call it work.

in my spare time, i help nascent creators and stitch together worlds which are (hopefully) more hospitable to people who, above all else, want to do what they love to do and be who they are. truly.

and also, so as not to mislead you, i don't have anything remotely resembling my own apartment. i've been fairly successful in setting up a johnny appleseed existence, relying on the kindness of friends and strangers for a meal and/or a soft pillow on which to lay my head.

i try to spread myself around so as not to burden anyone unnecessarily...and try always to walk softly through the forest. i bring news of neighboring villages, a good story or two, and an orchard that bears fruit every once in a while.

car? gave it back to the universe. love to walk, johnny did too. bank account? nope. i learned the hard way that it didn't really belong to me. and, strange though it may seem, losing it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

i do have a phone, which has been a plus when it comes to talking to or texting folks i meet on okc. not completely necessary, though, with the apple store and its bountiful harvest of available computers just a stone's throw away.

i'm a bit of a nomad. manhattan is base camp, but i venture out for ten days at a time (or so). washington, d.c. is an important nexus for me, it's where my daughter currently resides. if i go somewhere, i often change my okc location setting. that fact might tell you more about me than anything i've written so far.

i <3 connections, random and otherwise, and am a big fan of open circuits. i love surprises, pleasant or unpleasant. pleasant slightly preferred, though, truth be told.

if i know one thing to be true, it is that you cannot bid the flower not bloom. it thrives, when, on mild zephyr's wing, the spring arrives.

i can't carry squat, but can make time fly. if we go out for coffee, i gotcha. :)
