Neutiquam Erro.

To know a thing well, know its limits. Only when pushed beyond its tolerances will true nature be seen. ~ Frank Herbert, CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE, The Amtal Rule

WHO?

My Photo

Flowers gathered in the morning, afternoon they blossom on, still are withered by the evening: you can be me when I'm gone.

Terry Moore did this sketch of Katchoo for me at the 2006 Charlotte HeroesCon.

This is a poster I designed for Mitchell Snow and the 40 Hounds of Hell.

If I were a Transformer, I'd be Gears.


“The Cat”

By the mighty Robert McGinnis.

They never fail who die in a great cause.

You do not beg the sun for mercy.

"For relaxing times, make it Suntory time."

Courage is knowing what not to fear.

May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect.

“I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'”

"We are not children of celestial fuckin' light, walkin' arm-in-arm into the Age of Aquarius. We are wankers who wreck the planet an' piss on each other, 'til half the world's starvin' an' the other half's busy findin' new ways to keep from noticin' it. That's the fuckin' limit've our potential, believe me."

Act like a man of thought. Think like a man of action.

Maybe the most beautiful woman to ever grace the silver screen: the lovely Rita Hayworth.

"Conversation" by Kent Williams.

Remember: Your focus determines your reality.

People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

They hate us because we don't even know why they hate us.

Stop. Learn. Change. Strike.

When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted.

"Shiny. Let's be bad guys."

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.


Yaaay! We're doomed!

Death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.


The eyes of women are Promethean fires.

We must be like water—if you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. If you put it in a bottle, it becomes the bottle; if you put it in a teacup, it becomes the teacup. Now, water can flow, or it can crash. Be like water, my friend.

"Danaid" by Rodin. My favorite sculpture.

Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.

Joe Pekar did this lovely painting of Emma Frost and Black Canary for me in early 2007.

I prefer Scott with Emma rather than Jean.

You don’t have to stay anywhere forever.


"Wotta revoltin' development."

I'm only grouchy and moody on days that end with Y.

One may conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, yet he is the best of conquerors who conquers himself.

"Untitled" (Black on Gray) by Mark Rothko

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.


'Nuff said.

WARNING: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned ...... Tyler.
