oh

When I get really drunk, I do dance of mange, and shoot eye fire:



My friend added the Who patch to his shirt cause it was said he looks like Pete Townshend in this picture. In real life I never expose my wings in light.


Objective reporting statement in lieu of lieu:

Nick Ripatrazone asked me to write an essay about running for the University of El Paso's new web journal Quicksilver. It was harder than I thought. Here is what came out: running essay.



People are worrying too much about what words are, it's okay I promise


Sam Pink is a calming presence in my life


Nothing else worth saying

    thanks ken. you should. its hard for the first couple weeks or so, getting used to it, but once your body adapts it is very addictive.

    the label for this post is hilarious: dance

    no matter what happens in life, blake, i hope you always dance

    I speed walk, just in case something more exciting comes along I don't need to shower for it. The piece is a goddamn diamond of words though.
