Reality is mearly an illusion, albeit a persistent one

About Me

Life is interesting. It's an amazing ride, with ups and downs, and those weird little twirly go rounds that make you want to chuck your lunch, but damn, it's fun.The basics of me? Mellow, open minded, like to talk about various topics (you wouldn't believe the conversations I get into), enjoy learning about people, etc etc.

My Interests

Traveling, photography, drawing, cooking, reading, exploring the bay area and beyond, camping, hiking, and everything else you can possibly think of. I'm not too picky about what I do, it's all about the company I keep.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people. People who are smart, can carry a conversation, and maybe are a bit quirky in their own little way, lol. And please, if you send a friend request...send a msg or something so I know your not spamming and trying to 1 million friend mark.

Music:

All kinds. Seriously. There's no way to lump all the music I like into a few boxes. I like alternative, old school, R&B, classic rock, punk...it doesn't matter. Some of what I like: David Bowie, Audioslave, Ben Harper,U2, Radiohead, Portishead, Pink Floyd, The Roots,Joss Stone, Scissor Sisters, Stereo MCs, Enigma, Wolf Mother, Jeff Buckley, Mary J. Blige, Nina Simone. There's tons more, but i'll stop there. I'm always finding more smaller bands that I like too.

Movies:

Some favs are the Usual Suspects, Interview with a Vampire, Shawshank Redemption, Bend it Like Beckham, Love Actually. I like everything from romantic comedy to serious action packed flicks.

Television:

I'm on the Discovery Channel a lot these days: I love Dirty Jobs!! a friend has got me totally hooked on BBC's Dr. Who. Other than that, I don't watch a lot of tv.

Books:

Just about everything I can get my hands on. I'm running outta room for the books in my apt. I'm a big fan of fantasy/sci-fi. Yup, I'm a nerd and proud of it. I go for anything though fiction, non-fic, bios, etc.

Heroes:

People who have dealt with a lot on life and still can wake up with a smile on their face. People who stand up for what they believe in, even though they know they're not going to change the world.

My Blog
