The world can at times seem both wonderful and surreal. Because of this, I have always felt an inexplicable need to translate these perceptions-- of the beauty, the irony and the humor within oddity and contradiction-- and to anatomize truth and illusion, fearlessly and without reserve.

Words are an exquisite medium like no other. They are multidimensional. They offer depth and nuance to concepts, and can evoke a timeless and limitless effect. They can enrich and empower, inspire the intellect, and at times offer comfort in the midst of uncertainty.

I typically stick to putting my words and ideas in the genres of prose, poetry and literary fiction, but have been known to occasionally channel my inner cynic through an acerbic blog post or two.
