BioI am a rambunctious, discombobulated absurdist seeking enlightenment. I promote the nonsensical, nonviolent overthrow of reality. I am a radical moderate, a romantic pessimist, a cynical leftist, and a philosophical anarchist. I am also a graduate student at NYU film school and love going out to movies and comedy shows, goddammit! I still haven't adjusted to the new century yet. I enjoy staying up late and/or all night. I am a great admirer of Wile E. Coyote for his Sisyphean perserverence. I consider myself a passionate individual.
"I've always believed I could see things other people couldn't. Elements falling into place. A design. A shape in the chaos of things. I suppose I find these moments precious and reassuring because they take place outside me, outside the silent grid, because they suggest an outer state that works somewhat the way my mind does but without the relentless, the predeterminative quality. I feel I'm safe from myself as long as there's an accidental pattern to observe in the physical world."
—Don DeLillo, "The Names"
"If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings, and films, and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it."
—Andy Warhol (refusing to reveal the truth)
"I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it, to be ready for the moment of convergence, between the thing done and the doing of it, between the thing to be made and its maker. At that moment, I am speaking for everyone; I am dreaming for the billions yet to come; I am taking the part of us that cannot be understood by God, and letting it bleed from the wrist onto the canvas. And it can only be made, because I have felt these things: my lust, my greed, my hate, my happiness."
—Steve Martin, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile"
"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension."
—Anais Nin, "Diaries 1931-35"
