The Raven King

"Call me vain and proud, the greatest sinner ever to walk God's earth, but Satan's boy I could never be. I haven't the humility." -Urbain Grandier, The Devils of Loudon

I am older than I look by about six years. I miss how cool I used to look when I still smoked. I was tempered in Chicago, but I have been all over. Eaten lobster in Maine, walked past knee high ravens in the Pacific Northwest, pissed on a redwood, cursed the expansiveness of Texas and in the same breath praised the most beautiful night sky i had ever seen, before cursing again when I saw the beware of scorpions sign. Sipped on the tastiest southern sweet tea, delivered flowers to what I'm sure was a mob run business in Florida, and laughed at the notion of over population whilst driving through Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc.
I have old library smell imprinted on my DNA, my first friend was a set of World Book Encyclopedias and my blood type is fantasy/fiction.
I like to think I have a very honest way of looking at things, but like any good artist i am good at drawing attention away from the real issue.
so thats a shade of me, but it's not me
