I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

so, i love edamame - i know it's weird, but I do. If you can get past that we'll be great friends. i hate school but love learning. I love all things recyclable, reusable, ethical, original, and wonderful. i love the earth and its natural systems and I want a job that lets me work outdoors for 90% of the time. I love to work with my hands and love learning to do things on my own, like plumbing, or gardening. I want people to care about what they use and how they use it, and I want them to care about how their actions affect the rest of the world. I want to give my time to constructive activities that focus on restoring the natural world around me so that I can feel a productive part of a lopsided ecosystem. I want to work with people my age who want to work to create new types of communities that use sustainable lifestyles as a way to live the change they wish to see in the world. I'm looking for interested parties...ps speaking of parties you should all come out for this - if not for the amazing music but for the community we can all build togther through everyone's talents and art.DIGITAL MOVEMENT'S MONTHLY PARTY MOVES YOU HERE....Digital Movement

Time: Thursday, June 28, 2007 7:30 PM Although more personal than his other prose poem books, PURSUING THE DREAM BONE continues local poet MORTON MARCUS’s parable-like examination of the human condition in pieces that are alternately antic, whimsical, somber and elegiac.The subjects range from ruminations on the Bible to reflections on the relationships between men and women, from the recording of strange fairy tales to contemplations of death, from remembrances of his mother and father to questionings of his own identity.Please join us as Marcus reads from this special collection of poems.
