About

I’m just a hyperbolic monkey living in a nice little neighborhood called Midtown in the wonderfully gritty, soulful, fucked up, southern city of Memphis, TN. I was born and raised here. I have a brief sting living elsewhere but we like to not talk about that. God willing I’ll die somewhere else. Nothing against Memphis but, it would suck to live in the same city for your entire life!

I went to a private high school where I almost failed out. Then I went to a public university where I did fail out. Regardless, I have a nice career going in film and television with a little side project in photography. I’ve also recently gone back to school.

As for a little bit about me. This is supposed to be a fairly anonymous blog so I won’t give too many details but here we go. I’m liberal. I tend to be very liberal. Not a democrat. Liberal. There’s a difference. I’m kind of a hippie without the hemp and patchouli. Eew. I love sinking my toes into thick grass, tossing the frisby around, listening to live music, and generally being outdoors. I like backpacking but sadly, rarely have the time anymore. I love trees. I love watching trees in the wind. I love the smell of trees. I love hugging trees when I’m all fucked up. I love sitting around and thinking about just how beautifully complex a simple leaf is.

I love boats. Particularly sail boats. Being on the water makes me immensely happy. Speaking of happy, that’s something else I like. I rather enjoy the sensation. I tend to be a person that tries my best to find the happy side of any situation. I try not to let things get me down. I try my best to subscribe to the ideas of Taoism. I think the philosophy behind it makes a lot of sense. You can’t fight against nature but instead have to find the flow of nature and roll with it. Don’t try to put the square peg in the round hole. I’d love to be an astronaut but, I don’t want to be a fighter pilot or scientist so, it’s just not gonna happen. I’m not gonna spend my life wishing and being sad it isn’t going to happen. Get over it.

I have a lot of plaid. I love plaid. I’m so glad it’s come back in style because now I can find it. I can’t usually wear stuff from thrift and vintage stores because it’s always far too small for me. This shit is great.

I have a lot of books. I’ve read almost all of them that are in my place.

I am a straight man and yes, I do own a Sally Stitch dress form mannequin. Sue me.

I often tend to be too nice for my own good but will tell someone I’ll cut them without hesitation. I, of course, don’t mean it. Usually.
