Dirk is a writer, so to speak, really he's a student/english major who occasionally succeeds in temporary moments of brilliance, but usually just lapses into the utter bowels of failure. He's influenced, largely, by a lotta 50's beatish business, and a lot of the pre-beat stream-of-conciousness fellows. He is not a Kerrouac ripoff and will kill anyone who says different. He enjoys reading, writing, falling in love, and extenting his already morbidly large record collection.
