Bio
As a sensitive kid I wrote about what I saw around me, as well as poems and sometimes a bit of fiction. Certainly my own experiences and being empathic have made me into what is now put into "nourishing my creativity".

The Last Thing Tim Saw
For someone who wasn't always around a lot of people his age growing up, Tim was shy of ten when he discovered the hole in the barn in his grandparent's back property. Tim would spend his summer playing in the mud, catching rollie pollies and pretending he was on a great adventure in the backyard as he cut through the tall grass with his mighty stick from the peach tree. But one day Tim came across something; it had always been there but some how it was new to him. Like when you hear a word for the first time and all the sudden you notice it in every other conversation. The light reflected off the bends in a bullet hole on the side of the tall, rustic-red, corrugated metal and wood barn. Tim put down his pretend stick and walked over to the hole, just large enough for him to look into.

Orginal Grunge Kids
What started as just being yourself became something entirely different than it was meant to be. When we look at grunge, we might have a flood of different ideas and look in our own head based on experience and age. Like most fashions, something had to start from environment and circumstances or class. If someone was to look at grunge fashion back in the nineties when it was at its peak, they might be calling these people hippies, punks, hooligans, bad kids, no-good. You might be right, but you could wear just about anything and still be any of those types of people. I bet when you think of grunge, you also think of your parent's favorite bands they grew up with or maybe even your favorite bands you grew up with or are just discovering.
