WELCOME TO THE SELF INFATUATION SHOW

find enough holes in the world
you’ll eventually fall through

...any other way feels fake

VIM
I mainly write fiction, short prose and fairly unstructured poetry and dabble amateurish in the realm of photography. I write because I need to, so it’s a very selfish thing, (as it should be) and a cathartic activity. Most people will not find pleasure in reading what I spew forth or the images I choose to capture yet I hope a few people can check out my writing and art (if that’s the right word for it) and get something out of it…as I have.

I have a completed manuscript titled West and Connections (a fictional account of relationships and drug use)

Most of my focus is on capitalism, commercialism, sexuality, substance abuse, isolation, religion, identity and exploring issues which perhaps are not devoted much attention to in many mainstream forums. Drop us a line and I’ll probably get back to you

Some of my Influenza’s include: Charles Bukowski,
Bret Easton Ellis, Noam Chomsky, Bill Hicks, Kingsley/Martin Amis, Hunter S. Thompson, David Lynch, Trent Reznor, Quentin Tarantino, Oliver Stone, Shaun Micallef, John Pilger, Naomi Klein, Ernest Hemingway, Corey Taylor, Gus Van Sant, George Carlin, Coen Brothers, Peter Beste, Henry Miller, and alcohol
