Life invading art and vice versa.

I am working on this semi-fictional short story right now. I say semi-fictional because it’s based on a real event. Sort of. Actually it’s based on a person I saw at an opening. The rest is pure fiction. All made up by me. But the person exists. I don’t know him and I have never [...]

Music and expanded perception.

Music is very important to me. I almost always listen to music. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is turn on the stereo and I almost never go anywhere without my iPod. I love walking or traveling around in the city with my very own soundtrack. Sometimes I’ll even [...]

Transient encounters and the elusive nature of life.

the advantages of dyslexia

I am a writer. But I am also a dyslexic. And if you have read some of the previous post here, you may have noticed that. And yes, I love spell check programs, but they don’t catch everything. (Spell check program. Isn’t that a fantastic name by the way? A program that makes sure that [...]

how the loss of a computer can make you do things like this.

and somehow all the words just have to come out. so be it like this. it’s not about ambition or desire. it’s more than that. it is about survival. about staying sane. or at least some state of mind that resembles sanity. my version of sanity. keeping the thoughts from clogging. and now without the crutch of [...]
