Digital Storytelling

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desiderous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like faboulos yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
