Heroes
i think it was brecht who said, "more desperate is the time for heroes"
About me: Slow burning and grounded, intense but comfortable, and full of conversation and poignant silences seasoned with dry and deep swelling laughter, my interests are stacked and arranged (hazardously) in small shrines calculated by the trajectory of my movement stirred by a wine opener, a guitar, a computer that digests itself into polymorphic rhythms, some shelves that divest themselves of endless pages, attempting to reduce the distance of the gaping wound between us by mystical rites of whispers, while softly and much like the light of Vermeer, or the long gaze of a Tarkovsky film, I dawn on you.
Who I'd like to meet: Almost always hungry for a savory meal and company worth sharing it with, I'm interested in the kind of person not chilled by the intimacy of the eye or the word. Looking for an easy-going, strong-wiled but compassionate someone to share an obsession with sound, adventure outdoors (I sometimes need to be walked), who enjoys a good wine or beer, and pregnant silences. Psssst! ...and it helps if your creativity makes me drool bad grammar.
Happy Lesser Feast Brandon! I miss you my friend! I hope today has been a real blast for you. I'll have a drink in your honor tonight. Hope to hear from you soon.
Brandon, I think I should say something but then again I don't know what to say -interesting isn't it when that happens? I'm having a happy time hope all is well!~
You'll seek it it'll take a while You'll seek this if it's a thousand miles Take what fate brings eternal and desire; I'll change those faces then I take their smile.
My favorite was always between Vet for the Insane and Love under Will. (Strangely enough, that was my favorite before I ventured into Crowley..)
