this is the personal journal + personal blog of a poet from the Chi.

in it, I write, minutae and ennui at times, or thought provolking observations and mostly my blazing insights into life, thingies, and 'stuff'.

please note that it's not entirely as serious or profound as I like to make it, it's really just for me, for my own edification and betterment, to write a few things down and maybe...just maybe, once in awhile some complete stranger straggles in here off of google and finds the porch lights on, invites themselves in, and partakes in the comfort of a complete strangers su casa. they even find some cookies and coffee and get reminded of the good ole days. this I won't begrudge any.

I find myself waxing nostalgic and ancedotal bits + pieces from my fractured memories map of life. people won't get it at first, they won't really know full well what it is I'm even going on about like a little madman, saying bit of this and that. I'm making art, I'm composing my fifth symphony, I'm making my Mark II Ironman suit...and having my moment of deepening clarity manifest in this here blog. Just as it says in this Depeche Mode song 'Little Soul':

Your little eyeesssss, they're going to seeeee....I can't disguise the beauty inside meeeee....

The author

Enhanced human from the city of hot air.

I go by spike online (not IRL). Named after the character spike on Cowboy Bebop, who one of my Korean cousins tells me I resemble in some vague remote way (hardly). Only I'm not a space bountyhunter, I don't smoke, I don't have fluffy green hair, but I  do practice Jeet Kune Do and I dig jazz.

I'm a voracious reader + writer, I also love design, art, painting, and cooking very much. I'm highly creative and something of a computer genius admittedly (nothing to honestly brag about).

Originally from Chicago, always been a creative intellectual, very poetic and literary minded. God is my boss, and comes first in my life.

Persona

Down to earth, energetic, positive, very real, bold, and though I'm pretty strong I'm also quite empathetic and connect with all types of peeps easily nuff. I'm perceptive and observant, insatiably curious and always testing things for weak points. I'm admittedly not as clever as I once was in maths, must be the whole aging thing. I hate anti-social media.
