42,000 years ago, a Neanderthal sat in a cave in what would someday be called Spain.  He or she had an urge.  An urge that was unexplainable.  They picked up a piece of coal and approached a stalactite.  They drew.  Maybe they knew what it was they were drawing, maybe they didn’t.  What they didn’t know was why.  Why make this?  What does it do for me?  Why is it here?  Why did I want to do this? Regardless there it was.  Looming above them in a cave, leaving them with more questions than answers. Thousands of years later.  Nothing’s changed.

Hi.

I'm a writer living in Los Angeles. But who isn't?

I'm in awe of people who make art and photography. Since I know I'll never excel past stick figures I like to post other people's art and sometimes write about it.

You can read my poetry here.

And my plays here.
