You can also make your own, it's free! Textbook virgo with more freckles than you. Number is 9. Chinese name is Dao Ling Shi (???) in case you're wondering about the name. I'm out there doin' it. It seems to change from time to time, changing me in the process, but it keeps me entertained and moving forward. The path has led me to Asia and kept me here a while, but will no doubt one day lead me back home...

My Interests

music, psychonautics, books, punching holes in the matrix, parks, yoga, iridology, travel, learning, teaching, weird sh*t that I can't explain, music that's cooler than most, bending rules, fasting, stargazing, meditation, veggies, vinyl (aka wax), riding my bike, delusions of grandeur, zen koans, massage, surrender, thunderstorms, running, laughing, falling down... getting back up, innovation, simplicity, peeling back layers to reveal naked truth, doing my own research, brunch, watching strangers, reiki, dancing like nobody's watching, approaching limits, nutrition, the holistic approach, throwing small stones to create large ripples, mantra, maintaining perspective... me likes lots of things.

I'd like to meet:

Real people with vices and a checkered past. Any open minds with room inside. Empowered, honest, fearless people who can read between lines. People willing to question the condition, yet still laugh and dance. Musicians, artists, innovators, poets, and daydreamers. The essential me without all the conditioning. Myself before my parents met:) ...Finally, The right publisher; my book wants to find its way out in the world! http://www.childrensliteraryagency.com/GoodKarma.html
