"poetry led me by the hand out of madness"- Anne Sexton
"when I'm not writing, i feel like shit" - Ernest Hemmingway
"what we do in life, echoes in eternity"
"so... I'm a stoner." (my only excuse)
"Writing, at it's best, is a lonely life."- Ernest Hemmingway
"All art is done by the individual. the individual is all you ever have and all schools only serve to classify thier members as failures."
Ernest Hemmingway
I was diagnosed Schizoaffective 3 years ago, which is a combination of Schizophrenia and Manic Depression, the past three years have changed my life. before schizoeffective disorder, i was a 4.1 honors student with a 1300 SAT score and played three varsity sports. now, three years later, i am completely broke but i have met a woman who has literally saved my life.i dropped out of college, and can't work because i'm waiting on disability. my one ambition in life is to get published and im working on that now. im trying to squeeze every emotion i can from my past and create something great.

Oleander on April 18, 2008I really wanted to say that I love your poetry. I know how it feels being crazy in an insane world or at least that's how I feel, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was sixteen. Your most recent one really hit me, especially as I was listening to Nirvana's The Man who Sold the World. Good luck with your publishing.

movedon on October 29, 2007I often laugh and somtimes scorn at those who try and front past pain. But you my friend, leave me baffled after every poem of yours I read. My jaw, usually left hanging open, can't seem to form the words to express your poems. The depth that they run, or the shallowness they envoke, always hit the core feeling. Your wording is amazing! Keep up the wonderful work!
