Two-year Anniversary!!!! 

I found my love in a jazz bar on the first day I moved to Austin. I have never found anyone who is so beautiful, caring, smart and good-hearted. Plus, she plays a mean piano. Today is our two-year anniversary and we are celebrating it by getting lost in New York--yet another dream of ours that has come true. One of the most important lessons I've learned and one of the few I could give is that when it happens, it is natural. Computer love.

The first was finding hearts that beat like Coltrane's drummer. The next is finding futures.


Lauren, J'taime!!!!!!!
Lauren, Te Amo!!!!!

Works

• I'm working on a novel. Houston, in the year 2024, is filled with rappers-as-sorcerers and a 33-year-old Mexican-American DJ named Juan Gomez who lives with his parents. What is more sci-fi than rich Mexicans? Living in River Oaks while a mysterious red Buick Regal roams the neighborhood and a pint-sized Rhodes Scholar rapper who is obsessed with Schopenhauer. A part-satire, part-thriller, part-naco science-fiction novel where David Foster Wallace meets UGK? Look for it on bookshelves in 2093.
