It's just me yo.
No, really. THIS is how I do it.
I think about a lot of random stuff and I like to write it down. I believe in a lot of things and I think an equal amount of stuff is total crap. I am a cynical optimist. I am real. I like synchronicity and idiosyncrasy. My brain works quickly, which does not guarantee accuracy but is not A.D.D. Usually my mouth works even more quickly. I thought being really tall and living in Asia was pretty cool; but I am super glad to be back in California now. I want to be happy, bendy and satisfied... Because really, who wouldn't?-

I don’t really want to acknowledge you by writing to you, but I am justifying it by saying it is because I had a really lovely interaction with someone yesterday and the circumstances of the interaction were too eerily similar … Continue reading →
A letter, #5
After I saw you last, I got to thinking about The Newlywed Game. This is probably going to be a poor analogy because I never really watched The Newlywed Game. Unfortunate because there are few people who would likely notice … Continue reading →

You will never believe the strange coincidence that brought you to my mind the other day. I am actually glad I can tell you in writing so I don’t have to hear you tell me how there are no coincidences … Continue reading →

A letter, #2
Whey hey! You called tonight. I thought it must be a pocket dial at first, but no, you were calling. No text this time, and to be fair it was long before midnight. But seriously, a call from a cab … Continue reading →
A letter, #1
