About

Like-honey.com was registered on January 14, 2004, and it has outlasted several things in the three years or so without losing it's true purpose -- to be an outlet of my verbal and visual expression. To collect my memories and feelings -- in words and photos -- where I can't forget them, so I can look back and see the growth I've made. I'm addicted to writing and designing, and especially writing to an audience. This is my experience. I can only hope my silly, and sometimes confusing, babble will amuse you or maybe even interest you, but until I can be sure I'll just act like it does.

Design

The design mostly will feature vectors of self-portraits (one of the best ways to prove copyright, eh?), illustrations, or my photography. Afterall, this site is about me. The current layout, named Like-honey: Paperweight features an illustration drawn by my good friend Jesenia, and a winter scene created by yours truly. Lyrics from a song called "Paperweight" by Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk are also included as it is connected to a very special memory.

The Name

The name like-honey came to me immediately. no searching or debating occured. It's to indicate how sweet people say I am. Urban Rhapsody(tm) is the subtitle of my site. I personally think it perfectly describes the starting point of my experiences as well as my writing style:


ur-ban (urbn) adj. -
  • Of, relating to, or located in a city.
  • Characteristic of the city or city life.

rhap-so-dy (rps-d)n. pl. rhap-so-dies -
  • Exalted or excessively enthusiastic expression of feeling in speech or writing.
  • A literary work written in an impassioned or exalted style.
  • A state of elated bliss; ecstasy.
