Was
born November 1st, 1973 in the middle of freakin Virginia,
and was raised for his first four years in the small town of Blackstone.
The family picked up and moved west, to another (probably
even smaller) town called Princeton,
in the heart of western Kentucky. It was in Princeton that
he wasted the majority of his formative years attending school (remember,
this is Kentucky) and going to church WAY TOO regularly.
A good-'ole-boy without redneck predispositions, he was always a
bit outside of the norm (also known as "a bit of a loser")
since he didn't watch or participate in sports (unless coerced),
get drunk, smoke weed, or fuck cows. Princeton was a quaint
little village that would make an agoraphobe head for New York.
But what did this bright young man do, you may well ask. He
went off to college... in Murray.
Ahh... good ol' Murray
State University, good ol' Murray Kentucky. As if Princeton
weren't bad enough, he had to go to college in one of the "retirement
hotspots" of these contiguous United States. The most
popular, or rather, the only thing to do in Murray after 10:00pm
was to go to the local Hardee's for late-night coffee and... roast
beef.
The most frightening thing was that he and his friends actually
did. They went almost every night. Eventually their
visits became so lucrative for the store that a complete remodeling
job was undertaken, transforming the lowly, standard establishment
into... "Rock 'N Roll Hardee's," complete with chrome,
neon, and a rather large (no shit) Harley mounted on a dais in the
middle of the freakin room. This was where we hung out.
Finally after four and a half years of this abuse,
he was fed up, and ready to move on... but didn't even make
it out of the state. He landed in Louisville, KY, and floundered
for a while, trying to find a job that suited his tastes. He had
one--at Hawley-Cooke Booksellers--but after the owners stuck their
heads up their collective asses and replaced him as webmaster, he
grew to dislike the stench. Now unemployed for over a month, he's
finding that his principles are stickier than they should be, and
he's gonna have to dump 'em, and soon.
He is also a writer, poet, and sometime musician
(with limited skills), who is the author of the first Savant-Garde
Press title the Christ of my Confusion,
which is on sale now (here),
and at Hawley-Cooke.
