About Me

there is an ever changing soundtrack playing in my head at all times. i was born on a day most commonly known as "day of the dead". i used to ride a ferry to and from work every day and miss it sometimes. my favorite rufus wainwright song is cigarettes and chocolate milk. i love dive restaurants just as much as those with michelin stars. i have a very short attention span. i once dated a drummer who hated his own name. i ramble if left to my own devices. music has pretty much become my muse...it inspires me, releases me, defines moments & memories, must be included in each and every day and is the one thing i could not live without. i have beautiful friends who i am grateful to have crossed paths with. i miss my dog. i love to discover new things. i wake up very early, sometimes simply to watch the sun rise.
life is not a competition, but a journey, so embark and learn to appreciate those around you. both, those whom you envy and those you admire.
