About TheWalkinDude

I use The Walkin' Dude as my title because I walk everywhere, and traveling by these means makes me feel closer to my inner self, my soul and spirit, so to speak. Inspiration catches me on the peak of my dumb, klutzy moments and gives me further reasons to pursue and blaze my trail.


Interests

Swimming, camping, yoyoing, playing the saxophone, reading, writing, and walking.

Occupation

Student, camp counselor (pioneering, wilderness survival, and archeology), sax musician, and yoyoer


Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
