Off-kilter Occasionally Inappropriate Fun
Whether you've stopped by on purpose or by mistake, you've come to the right place. Take a journey into my eccentric headspace. With a sense of humour that is not for the faint-hearted, if you are easily offended you may find a few posts off-putting. My work ranges from light-hearted poetry, writings on my mental wellness to dark blue surreal comedy and short stories, which I call Microburst. As I learn to draw, I am constantly experimenting; expressing my work in different ways. Ultimately, I'd love to know I made you laugh and/or wonder. Going where my curious, mischievous mind takes me. You're invited to come along!

Hello World Hooray!
I’ve never liked the word “eccentric” but it describes me perfectly. If I were a tree, I’d be a barking cherry blossom. If I were a bird, I’d be humming hip hop.
I love to write, laugh, eat, cook, make up my own words and dance. I am in love with learning and new experiences. As I get older, I figure I should stop putting off the things I always wanted to do. Hence, here I am – doing what I love, instead of drinking myself to sleep.
You’re likely to catch me smelling flowers and sneezing, being a workaholic, navigating Prozac and my general mental wellness, laughing at something no one else finds funny, having dinner with a friend or two, trying to compete against Prozac (zacnaps) in a 24-hour horror movie marathon (so far, the naps keep winning), working on a jigsaw puzzle, reading, learning more about Buddhism or whatever else I find fascinating at the moment or spending time alone.
BTW: That’s not me in the photo but I like the pic, so I’m keeping it!
