Jackson Krauss Blind Painter

"But sometimes, it seems so much simpler to think in terms of matching the preceeding, that I get lost in all the letters, mail I get from my heart to my head, and back again, all saying nothing more than 'Feel. You're just as blind as I am.' "
--From my poem "Weight, Love, and Ashes"



I'm a kid who wants to fly on my own someday.

I love traveling and seeing new places and people.

I am a semi-acomplished poet and story writer.

I just recently got an absolutely gorgeous katana, which I love.

I am a hiking and camping afficianado, and have done so all over.

I love seeing eagles. I do so more than you'd imagine.

I love social games. Especially Lava Monster!

I am the originator, the ringleader, the commander, and I enjoy being thus.

I can throw a javelin, and I appreciate cool sunglasses.

I can touchtype, which I learned from typing on Facebook over this summer from missing my college friends so much.

I am thinking about doing some kind of student exchange program in a few years so I can see Europe.

I figure that science, rather than religion, has a better chance of showing us not only concrete answers but ways to improve and maintain a positive outlook on life.

I love philosophy and physics, two things which are dangerous when mixed.

I am a thinker. I will take an hour long shower and build things in my head.

I have had one of the best childhoods ever, and won't sell it for much anything.

I am unrealistically optimistic, to the point that I haven't felt down for almost five years.

I fall in love easily, and rehearse fights in my head with those who annoy me.

I am a very martial person sometimes, and have excelled (and enjoyed) Tae Kwon Do and Kendo Kai, along with much more informal training.

I prefer oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip.

I will listen to a person for hours at a time, and pay attention the whole time.

I know how to knife fight well.

My cell phone's ring tone is just my friend making fierce growling noises into the recording.
