About Me

Current mood: i just want to dance....i am most comfortable sitting between the lines. my own or yours. im best at expressing my own, but just as alive when im lost in translation. i am the 'i' that constantly sees the world through a 2" LCD window. a frame. a lens. a finger always ready to give a moment brand new meaning through the click of a shutter. here i am alive, but everywhere else i sit restless and edgy. consistency and security is friend to some, but leaves others walking through life agitated, fed every perpetual moment that rests unsettled at your pit... . i have walked on cracks and shards, and often still do. ask me, and i may show you their remnants... i am born of the revolutions of the past and the struggles of the present. each of which breathes new dynamic to this very moment and those that will follow.... the most obvious being - that of strength. in other words, im no-nonsense.i am anxious for the future... but so ridiculously reminiscent of the past. i yearn so much for the freeze frame buttons in life that allow you to travel back in time, rewind, press pause and relish in them until moving on seems like the necessary and ok thing to do. at the end of the day - i am so comfortable, so thankful, and so OK here. now. living. breathing. just being....

My Interests

in no specific order: skim, no foam lattes. medium blue ball point pens. midnight phone calls. large bodies of water. early morning jogs. autumn. windows open - always. handwritten letters. the company of strangers and random insightful conversation. aimless roadtrips. solitude. taebo. dabke anytime, anywhere - literally. baby giggles and children generally. photography. travel. literature that tickles the brain. daisies. london, england. 3oood. weeping willows. driving through pre-fajr fog/dew. vanity fair. pastels and sketch pencils. sleep. magazine-ad-collages. the spoken word and the written word. argeela. maybe.. just maybe YOU. salsa - the dance, not so much the food. theories of conflict. religion. philosophy. green tea & honey. words that are bold enough to shake your perceptions of reality. music that moves. finally - travel. travel. travel... but some people say you have to let your soul fly free just until your feet can. until then, this nomad sits anxious....
