About Me

What makes me tick?
Do you really want to know?



I live for and enjoy; Humor as both great delight and a survival skill. Evolving. Envelope Pushing. Music. Raising Cain. Aural pleasures. Cinema. Exploring the Globe. Quantum Physics. Movement. Vision Quests. Love through touch. Connecting the Goddamn dots! Expansion. Moments where time stands still. Cuando el jugo vale el preton. Sex in Space. Spankings. Solar Flares. Altered States and the wisdom that can be gleaned in the midst of it all. Jumping on fancy hotel room beds. English Toffee. Garlic. Tearing off your fishnets. E=Mc2. Peeling back the layers. Observing the Observer. Antagonizing the Antagonizor. Mythology. Twilight. Carousels. Space and Time. Vapor. Wind and Rain. Being light as a feather, stiff as a board...while finding any possible way to bring more peace and love into this world.............


Naturally I am curious, inquisitive, aggressive at times and willing to try almost anything new and exciting. I've gotten myself into a few predicaments with this attitude but mostly I learn new things and meet new people. No Risk No Reward......................
If you have managed to get this far and are still reading my page, you are getting a view into my life, my family, my friends, things which give me pleasure, and interests which hold my attention, this is a glimpse into what I enjoy and who I am.
The world is still showing me who I can be and what I will become.
Some of you know me, to the remainder of the world i am a stranger, be kind in your judgement of me. Walk away with a clear understanding that I know how short life really is and that I will embrace life today, leaping forward one giant step at a time.............................. I have been through a lot in life and know that you have too! I have fallen and managed to get back up and keep going. In my life I have made some big mistakes and grown up enough to figure out how to fix them and make things right. We all make mistakes in our lives! There is NO premeditation in acts of stupidity, we all do them. Mistakes are painful but they exist for a reason while serving a purpose. Mistakes and random acts of stupidity occur. As long as we live in this world we are bound to encounter problems. If, at such times, we lose hope and become discouraged, we diminish our ability to face difficulties. It is how we deal with and handle these situations are part of finding out who we really are and what we truly are made of. If we remember that it is not just ourselves but every one who has to undergo difficult times and suffering, this more realistic perspective will increase our determination and capacity to overcome troubles. There is a real value in appreciating our own short comings, while recognizing our individual omnipotent power. I believe that no one can invest in someone special until they take time to invest in themselves first, we can strive to become more compassionate, that is we can develop both genuine sympathy for others’ suffering and the will to help remove their pain.
As a result, our own serenity and inner strength will increase.
I will celebrate this life by never being in fear of living my life. Thank you for reading my thoughts, I will continue living my life to the fullest, forever!...................... I will forgive and forget, I will live and let live, I will let go, I will double up, I will go "All In" everyday,I will live for the day, today, all day.......................
What will you do with your life?

My Interests



I enjoy cooking for friends and family, helping things grow,local politics,contrasting opinons,kind people,creating business,exploring the unknown,waking up tomorrow, questioning what needs to be questioned...... you kids play nice while i'm away and don't start the revolution till i get home.....................

When we rise in the morning and listen to the radio or read the newspaper, we are confronted with the same sad news: violence, crime, wars, and disasters. I cannot recall a single day without a report of something terrible happening somewhere. Even in these modern times it is clear that one's precious life is not safe. No former generation has had to experience so much bad news as we face today; this constant awareness of fear and tension should make any sensitive and compassionate person question seriously the progress of our modern world.

It is ironic that the more serious problems emanate from the more industrially advanced societies. Science and technology have worked wonders in many fields, but the basic human problems remain. There is unprecedented literacy, yet this universal education does not seem to have fostered goodness, but only mental restlessness and discontent instead. There is no doubt about the increase in our material progress and technology, but somehow this is not sufficient as we have not yet succeeded in bringing about peace and happiness or in overcoming suffering.

Of course, war and the large military establishments are the greatest sources violence in the world. Whether their purpose is defensive or offensive, these vast powerful organizations exist solely to kill human beings. We should think carefully about the reality of war. Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and glamorous - an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. Since armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. In fact, we have been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering............. something to think about today..........Before you leave,a favor if you please, turn off the lights, and be so kind as to STOP THE FUKIN WAR!

I'd like to meet:

Beautiful people do not just happen...The most beautiful people I have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.......Beautiful people do not just happen..............

People that I relate to kinda go with the flow, enjoying what the day is presenting, while continuing to buck the system and question the status quo. In this life or the next, I hope to meet Ghandi, Hunter S. Thompson, Jerry Garcia, Larry Flynt, Mother Theresa and Michael Miliken and you. I appreciate diversity while looking forward to meeting intelligent, alive, interesting people, hopefully they will bring their own unique perspectives of the world into my life. ................I am attracted to women who can talk... and listen. A great kisser would be nice as well.You major in being witty, smart, independent,vibrant yet easy-going woman, fundamentally kind with a minor in your mischievous,sassy, playful,unpredictable nature. I admire women who give people the benefit of the doubt and have a "live and let live" attitude. I enjoy the pleasures and company of beautiful intelligent women, whether it is by being out and about, or just enjoying someone's warmness, passion, and closeness at home. I am not searching for someone to live with. If I ever meet "The Right Woman” she will be the woman whom I simply cannot live without!
Enjoy these badass videos

Are you emotionally literate, available, in touch with yourself while being able to share your feelings and continue taking risks? I am.
All of us are looking for some REAL LIVE chemistry. You bet we are!! One thing you can't fake is chemistry.
Chemistry either exists or it doesn't, if it doesn't, it can't be bought or manufactured. Chemistry is a combination of many things. It's the witty dialogue; it's the instant look,the touch, the laughter,the knowing. Chemistry is an attitude, a passion for life,Chemistry is a whole combination of intelligence, sexuality and an unexplainable emotional connection between people. Chemistry is a language between two hearts that we do not understand...next question

Ultimately, the reason why love and compassion bring the greatest happiness is simply that our nature cherishes love and compassion above all else.

Strong words to follow; Peace, Love, Health and Happyness to all of you.

Television:



I would rather go see and enjoy live music, be outside, take a bike ride,almost anything but watch TV and who actually gives a fuk about television anyway. I wish I could just throw my TV out of the house. It is all too easy to waste away your life while mindlessly evaporating in front of the TV. I still love to watch poker,comedy, Law and Order, the news, PBS, evangelical TV preachers and other assorted mind numbing blather..................................................

Better to get out and see some more live music.......................Enjoy
