About Me

I'm an enigma, but aren't we all?

My Interests

Traveling, Mile-High club meetings ^_~, drinking beer and being deliciously white-trash, morning-breath kisses in bed, gourmet cooking, dinner parties, making ice cream, camping, jazz music and candlelight dinners, cuddling the kittens, being outside during a warm magic hour, breakfast on sunday mornings, bonfires, Billie Holiday on the record player, jogging and 1-2-3's (when I feel up to it), netflix, sunday brunch w/ mimosas, Fiesta Cantina!!!, being lazy, afternoon bubble baths, drafting, waking up in the middle of the night with a stupendous epiphany, discovering hidden scenic routes in LA, KoreaTown, really...really... good poops, laughing so hard I can't breathe, realizing my friends have grown with me, getting lost, reading for fun, looking at dream homes and picking out great concepts, driving around in Larchmont and Rossmore, watching people enjoying life, finding myself while meeting new friends, learning new building designs and thinking new ideas, restoration architecture, green designs, learning random trivia that no one really cares about, loosing track of the time, smiling till my face hurts, pinkberry, mangos, chocolate, red wine, phrases in different languages like "Domo" and "Bastaldo", ok... ok... I kind of do like getting tickled from time to time... just for the 'hee-hee-hah-hahs'.

I'd like to meet:

Where did chivalry go?

What ever happened to class?  Has it been replaced by civil liberties and equal rights or something?  Where did society's movement towards Utopia go?  My frustration isn't being brought...

The Black Man In Black

The black man in black strolls the boardwalk with such buoyant grace, as if he owned the entire beach strip.  His shoulders leaned back, chin in the air, a thick gold earring bounces from side to...
