Hmm... Thingy-things...
I don't know where to start... Well, how about this?
I'm not about to pigeonhole myself, but in any of my writing, there are a few themes which tend to crop up. The first is an abundance of pop culture references. I see life and art as undefinable, yet interconnected. And, in my life, music, movies, and books have emotional associations for me. So, they bleed into my writing. I'm sure you can make some sort of critical/philosophical/sociopsychological postulations regarding the influence of pop culture on the mental/spiritual/emotional development of people. Whatever. I absorb the world around me and am influenced by everything. Everything is art, in my opinion. Draw your own conclusions. Andy Warhol.
My second theme is love. It's a big thing in my life, and many other people's lives as well. Unrequited love is the status quo for me these days, but if that changes, so will my writing. Or so I assume. However, I started high school when the whole "emo" thing hit its popular stride, so I know firsthand what it's like to get sick of the same thing over and over again. What I mean is, love will appear frequently, but not all the time. Love will just be the "majority shareholder" of my writings. Variety is the spice of life, so I'll try to balance. Expect some humor as well. And some total randomneity.
I also tend to take some inspiration from surrealists, absurdists, dadaists, and anything else weird. I love weirdness, quirkyness, etc. I'm not always going to write bizarro stuff, but it'll pop up when it needs to.
I guess that's it. I'll tweak this as time goes by.
Oh, one last thing. I tend to write more poetry than actual "stories" or "fiction." I've tried a few short stories (and even an self-described "epic" that was just too massive for its own good... it's like the "Spruce Goose" of my artistic dabblings...) But, yeah, I tend to stick to poetry. I'm a fan of minimalism, punk rock, and any other movement that advocates stripping art down to its simplest forms. Those styles keep art from becoming too elite or ornate. Plus, I believe there is a point at which things become so simple that they can't help but be beautiful. And then poetry is so free, and has such allowances for direct emotion, that it's what I feel most comfortable with.
