I dig music. I eat, breathe, hear, feel, and sleep in vibrant color. I love to love.

That is all.

(oh, except for this one last thing...)

My Interests

art, live music, wombats, hedgehogs, vicious minks, and cheeky monkeys. Maryjane, roadtripping, traveling this wide world, camping, hiking, backpacking, living it up, pyromania, oceans, mountains, COOKING, really good wine, really good beer, nicely aged scotch, painting, graphic design, visual effects, film, photography, love, supporting local art, reading, getting dirty, massages, sustainable living, little kids, biology, Steve the Cat, being awake, watching the stars, singing, dancing, laughing, and of course, those treacherous little faeries.

I'd like to meet:

The color green.

Anyone who loves life and has a positive attitude.

How about that paradigm shift?
