Bio

Queer postmodern poser. Gay to the bone. Self publisher of low quality brilliance with the pseudonym Eden Amador.

Got a degree in Sociology and a Minor in Philosophy. I've played many roles in life. Custodian, dishwasher, amateur porn, English teacher, scholar, cashier, cart pusher, and blogger. But I'm mostly just another stupid pedestrian crossing the street when the walk sign turns red.

Favourite Philosopher

Kierkegaard, Foucault, Butler, Goffman, Sartre, Camus, Beavoir
