About Me:
Despite the Nickname I'm not actually or in any way living or have ever been to Cleveland. It's a reference to something from many years ago that holds important meaning to me.
I have a love and large interest in creative practices, such as Reading, Writing, Painting and Music. With the reach of the internet I'm finding more and more unique music, people, groups and bands that I could have easily overlooked or never heard of. With everything I find there's new and more interesting aspects that drive me further in my quest to be creative.
If we are to have magical bodies, we must have magical minds.

I like to belive that I have a magical mind. Something that is truly a piece of it's own and can't be duplicated. I push myself with my painting and my conversion work but not to the degree that I would like. If given the option I would stop the current 'job' that I'm doing and focus 100% on my painting and writing. I have ideas that I couldn't possibly put into practice for one reason or another, most of which being attributed to cost. Not that that is a factor or a stopping point for me and it's not even that I worry or have a concern about money. I know it's all out there and that if will come if asked for properly or needed. As of presently I am comfortable with where I am though I would like to see a deeper depth in myself when it comes to my writing and what I'm making out of it.
We wrote down
Another vision of us:
We were the challengers of the unknown.
- Challengers by The New Pornographers
The unknown holds a particular interest for me. With my work, or should I say attempts, at writing I find it fascinating to just sit and find what comes out. I used to work exclusively with pen and paper but half a year ago I was pushed (only a little) to make a change to that and begin focusing more on word processing and computer use for my writing and I have to say that it has allowed me to write more freely, with my fingers keeping up with what was coming out of my brain. I don't find all of it good or all of it useful but I do store it away because you never know what and when it may become of use.

I drive kind of recklessly, I take a lot of chances, I never repair my vehicle, and I don't believe in traffic laws. So I tend to have quite a high number of traffic accidents.
- George Carlin
I take chances. Not in the dangerous sense but in the figurative sense. I write to an extreme point and then just leave it on the screen for days at a time. I don't know why, perhapes just to remind me that I did that and that it's there. A lot of what I write can be an accident but I keep it. It's there for me to tell me what I did wrong and what doesn't work. Disobeying laws, even in writing, can showcase something that you never knew was there before.
The most important thing in writing isn't the words but the spaces between them. Think about that.
As for me…I try but not as much as I know I should. I'm probably short changing myself in a lot of regards as I know I do what I need to do and I know I could be doing a whole lot worse with my time and life. My kids could hate me, my wife could not want to be in the same house as me, it's all there as a 'possibility'. It's not me though and I'm glad for that. I'm extremely f-ing happy for that and I give thanks for it each day. At the same time and withing the same frame I know there is much more for me that I've yet to discover and yet to find, I just wish that sometimes it would appear sooner than it does.

If you could see the thoughts I see

- You Are Too Beautiful by Hawksley Workman
I want to able to show people the thoughts I have. I don't want to change their opinion on things or their point of view I just want to expand what they already see and show them something from a new direction. Everyone see the world in their own way, I want to let people in on the way I see things, let them expereince something different and allow them to walk away and still be themselves. Taking someone's mind and opening doorways that they never knew existed, creating thoughts that they never could have believed they would have. My goal as a writer is to let people experience something they never knew was there simply by changing their perspective just a little and just for a short time.

It’s better to have something to remember, than nothing to regret.
