A cigarette in my left hand
and a rosary in my right, I hit
the bottle for the last time
some Wednesday in February.
But here I am, after a week,
with my finger in an ashtray, making

The desire to be known is one that sounds too trite, too demanding, too self-seeking, too insecure, too long-winded, too flippant, too obvious, too frightening to commit to.

Tonight my prayer has a rhythm. That of rowers and seafaring souls before me. But I am traversing no great sea. I am too scared. It is dark. I imagine that the water is calm. It is…

What's your favorite movie quote?
I know this sounds silly, and I know that I might sound ridiculous, like this is the scene in the movie where the guy’s trying to get a hold of the long-lost son, you know, but this is that scene. This is that scene, and I think they have those scenes in movies because they’re true, you know, because they really happen. And you’ve got to believe me, this is really...

Is this the triumph of humanity? That God says “have dominion” over the earth and we maintain that it can be translated “f*** it up as you choose.” We apocalyptic fatalists can rejoice now that we have been proven right…”this world is not my home, I’m just a-passin through.” The world is all just going to be destroyed one day.

will you remind me how the resses penis story...
I was working at a movie theater. They put me on concessions the night Harry Potter opened. It was busy. A man ordered a bag of Reese’s Pieces, but I called them Reese’s Penis on accident. I tried to redeem myself but said it a total of 5 times in the process. It was awkward. I avoided eye contact.
