Been living in Brooklyn, working at a bookstore, then recently I got fed up, realized there was nothing that had to be done, and I didn't want to do that anymore. I'm headed down to Florida, currently on a buddy's couch in northern VA. Hope to hit Charlotte next, or perhaps Raleigh, I think I have some friends there. Would love a travel buddy, or even just a ride. I like to talk about books, and poetry, and God, and whatever else.

Hit me up if you're around, I'll probably keep updating with my progress.

East of Eden was a life-changer. The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson or The Pound Era by Hugh Kenner were the best I read last year. I will always read anything by John Jeremiah Sullivan. Currently trucking through The Recognitions by William Gaddis, which is a fucking brick. Yourself?

I was told to read it during a pretty bad time in my life. I was drinking and using pretty heavily, and fucking up my life and blaming my behavior on my dad and old pastors and whoever else I could. That book was a wake-up for me, showed me that all I did was my own damn fault, and I couldn't blame my problems on anyone else. They had their own shit to work out, but sure enough I did to. For me now it's a reminder that I'm in charge, and that freedom means responsibility, and generational curses can be lifted, if you like.
