Creativity comes from deep inside. If you can’t let it out, it will consume you or burst out of your chest spilling blood everywhere.

Remember to breathe safe.

“So what have you been up to these past years? It’s been what–five?” “I’ve been dead, mostly.” Pause. “You don’t look it.” #writing

Misheard: “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m not dead yet.” #writing #character #montypython

I like this restaurant. They don’t assume you are a child who doesnt know how to “twirl” pasta and give you a spoon. #food

“It’s ok to be different. It’s ok to be strange. It’s ok to be mysterious.Just don’t be dead while doing it.” #writing

I would really like to figure out how to get FFXIV running on a Sony PS, but Square ENIX make things difficult. They think security equals obscurity. #sony #ffxiv #failure

The 9s seem to be the hardest years: Your 29th, 39th, etc.

“I don’t know everything, but then, I know enough to make stuff up. After all, that’s what God did.”

Plans are not blueprints.
