About me: Avid coffee drinker, former Evangelist/Theologian, published poet, working chef and nursing an obsession with perfection. I live in the Cincinnati area with Jamie my partner of six years and our two cats, Thakaria Bynx(binkerbell) and Sirius Black. I am greatly suspicious of most things and people in the world today so I suppose that makes me a touch cynical. I believe in the power of food, I believe in the power of words, I believe in the potential of men to do much good. I do not believe in the Pope, Santa, modern pulpits, the advertising industry, fast food, overconsumption, purple turtles, politicians, armed conflict as diplomacy, good intentions of multinational corporations, or that black cats are bad luck. I am loyal, honest, and hard working and greatly impressed by the beauty that is still out there in our world. Get a good look folks, it's fading fast.
In Celtic astrology, you're a Holly. The animal symbol that accompanies this tree is the unicorn. The ancient Druids say Holly people are cautious, capable, steadfast, efficient, supportive and protective. However, Hollies may be prone to perfectionism, loss of direction and possessiveness, especially toward people.

Miss you too baby! You should see this house! I have it a total wreck and I've been home since 10:30pm. I'm working on a project to make a cut glass wind chime but I don't have a diamond bit so it's a pain in the ass. I was at walmart for an hour trying to find one but no luck. Guess homo depot tomorrow. Wish you were here to see the boys and do crafts with me! Well I'm off to start another project. Let's see what a total freaking mess I can make when I try to make PAPAER!
