My Bio

Bio:

I can't stand the idea of never knowing an answer. This feeds into my fascinations with history, criminology, philosophy and psychology. I have a need to know, to get down to the core of something or someone and understand the reasons why. I tend to view the world through analytical eyes and while most are losing themselves in the moment, I am memorizing it. My mind has so many topics to focus on that often times I have difficulty dedicating myself to a single one because they are all arguing for my attention.

I started writing as a child, making little books about cartoon characters, including creating my own. I grew serious about writing in high school where I joined the literary magazine and won several awards. All told, I began writing 28 years ago, wrote my first poem 19 years ago. Often times I write a piece, I am not sure where it is going or why, but upon completion I find myself looking into my own mind and discovering what it is that I am feeling or thinking. A subliminal glimpse into the essence of who I am lies somewhere between the lines I scribe.

My interest in history is extremely broad, with favorite historical figures ranging from Alexander the Great to George Washington. I am also hung up on unsolved historical crimes, the Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper, for example. I am an extremely picky reader. Many classical authors fail to catch my attention though I love the works of Edgar Allan Poe, J.D. Salinger and Emily Dickinson. Philosophically I am drawn to Baudrillard and Kant.

I am always open to discussion or random conversation. You can feel free to contact me either through deviantart or on one of the various instant messaging programs I use, my usernames for which are listed below. I have been a member of deviantart for over 8 years and love being a part of the vastly talented literature community. I hope in the future to take a bigger part in that community and to contribute and promote it in whatever ways I can.

Quotes:
"I like a look of agony / because I know it's true."

"Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies."

"Better that we die on our feet than live on our knees."

"In a world of global deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

"No target on earth and no purpose in Heaven."

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

Hey everyone!  I am looking to have some artwork done for my podcast!  I have a very specific idea in mind so I need an amazing artist who can pull it off.  Who would you recommend from dA?  Please comment some amazing artists so I can reach out to them! For those of you who aren't aware, back in May, I started a true crime podcast called Trace Evidence. Over the past three months I've been growing it and expanding it and at this point it's becoming larger than I thought it would.  So far I have written over 100,000 words over 15 episodes.  It's not poetry, but it's nice to be writing something. If you're interested in checking it out, I c

So.  I haven't been around much.  There are several reasons for this, but most of them are boring, personal stuff like work, school, etc.  There is one reason which is actually pretty exciting for me... I started a podcast! For a long time, I've been fascinated by true crime, predominantly the unsolved areas of it.  This began at a young age for me, I grew up watching a lot of Unsolved Mysteries on TV and it always stuck with me.  While other people think about areas of their life and stressful situations when they can't sleep, I'm running over case evidence in my head and trying to figure out what happened.  My podcast focuses mostly on uns
