"Incoherent - yes. Without meaning - I'm afraid not. 'Known some call is air am.' Which is to say - 'I am not what I used to be.'" ••• Thank you thank you @taycole79 for giving me this special tattoo I've been wanting since House of Leaves rocked my world three years ago. I always wanted it but the timing never felt right. Danielewski was the first thing David and I bonded over, and when I was sitting and waiting for Tay to draw it up today and my three-months-until-wedding notification popped up, I knew I got it perfect. ❤️ #markzdanielewski #houseofleaves #knownsomecallisairam #nonsumqualiseram #iamnotwhatiusedtobe (at Hattiesburg Tattoo)

"I had a heart then - but the Queen has been overthrown"

Non Sum Qualis Eram

This most honest and obvious thing I can say about myself. That anyone can say about themselves.

But I am saying it here and soon I will bore this title across my heart.

My very first and only infliction of art reminding myself of a simple truth that I must keep a truth: I am not what I used to be.
