Bio:oh. so you decided to read this, huh?

In the course of becoming my self, I am a writer, a classicist, a philosopher, a theologian, a Latin teacher, a theorist, and a kind of poet. I have an array and selection of cudgels, scalpels, and chisels with which I will dismantle anyone's arguments and ideas. (Sadly, this includes my own...) With these weapons, I love and hate the Western Canon. To read Kierkegaard is to know from where I find my self. Yes, I actually use my graduate degree.

I live with my partner, the wise and beautiful [info]cinemama, and [info]monkeydoo, our drunken sockmonkey.

I'm quite good natured, a vicious and dessicated wit, and deep inside, I am disheartened about most of the world.

I am the patron saint of commiserating poets. [info]transcribe once said I was "a psy-ops pusher. wanting me to destroy people with subversiveness and cruel mocking". Well... I can't disagree with that, really. I have a doppelganger who lives my id's life. I'm working a project about philosophers for children (illustrated).

Read [info]deadauthor for my acts of fictional and poetic writing.

I am the moderator of [info]needagoodlaity, [info]ut_classics, and [info]paris_review.
.
don't touch me. I'm a real livewire.



Please take my poll.

I will soon be updating my amazon wish list. This is only for you to get a feeling for my interests. Don't buy stuff for me (not that you would). Seriously, I mean it. I've read too much Levinas and Derrida to take gifts lightly. The surplus of hermeneutics, ethics, and economy caused makes my mind reel.

This journal has become "friends only". Email me if you would like to be added.
