About Me

"Let me say at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love. "

I work with kids, i try and be outside in the sun as much as possible,I love being in large bodies of water, I define myself as a revolutionary who believes that another world is possible.

My Interests

Fighting for a more Equitable society


Painting the town red!

I'd like to meet:

People who are passionate enough to act



A historical figure I would like to meet is Ms Amelia Earhart


Music:

really this is far too much to fill out. Let me just say that I wouldn't know what to do without music- without my life's soundtrack...life wouldn't be as great as it is.
to make one point about music: because apparently you care about my opinions on music: I think ignorant music is like tv and it can rot and manipulate your brain. So many thanks should go out to those who both explore the depth of their creativity and those who are not afraid to use lyrics as swords in this constant struggle for justice.

Movies:

The Big Sellout, Moments with Fidel, Ants, The Revolution will not be televised, The Gods must be Crazy, Bus 174, Edward Scissor hands, Big.... I really Love movies- sadly I like good ones and really bad ones (which to save face shall remain nameless)

Television:

TURN OFF THE TV!

Books:

I love so many books..... I don't even know where to begin....

My most current reads: A song for my daughter. The One Staw Revolution and Why Socialism published by the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
I wish I had more time to read. Reading, whether it is fiction or non fiction has always been an eyeopener for me...brain candy

Heroes:

People who never give up on the dream- who never lose sight of the potential and who carry themselves with dignity, discipline, and humility.

My Comrades : who are the hardest working people I know and from whom I have learned so much!

The kids I get to see everyday! They inspire me to keep on believing that another world is possible



One of my best friends- Abel- who is running from Alaska to Panama, bringing the message of Peace and dignity to people all across the land and doing work that is greatly needed

And all the many heroes of the working class. those few whose names we know and the millions that struggle!
