Biography

I'm an aspiring white American writer from Washington State. That's all I'm willing to say, but I am quite ambitious with my writing. I also tend to write about subjects people generally aren't comfortable with, particularly the pieces I'm currently working on.

I'm not big on entertaining pieces so much as dramatic thought-provoking ones, whether writing them or viewing them. CSI is entertaining crap, but it's still crap; HBO's The Wire is infinitely better and among the best TV shows ever made.

Favorite Music Genres: Alternative, Classical, Jazz/Blues, Metal, Punk, Rap/Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul, Rock, Latino, Oldies, Techno, World
