About Me

NYC -- i love....
music's my LOVE, people are my PASSION, and life is my ADDICTION

i live for new experiences.
i believe fulfillment can only be found through appreciating life's series of moments.
those moments and those within them mean more to me than i ever let on.
i'm a great story teller.
i used to tell people that 75% of everything i say is based on truth--
the rest isn't quite a fabrication...
i stopped telling people that.
i laugh all the time.
it oftentimes makes people uncomfortable.
laugh along with me and you'll feel much better.
i talk a lot, but if you get me talking about my life's passions it's a rarity.
without being patronizing: feel special--
you've marked my life in some way.
i'm really open and honest about who i am,
but i have more walls than you can imagine.
my greatest flaw is my ego.
bruise it and i shut down completely--or i run hot and cold till the end of time.
i'm working on it.
a lot of my friends think i'm wild.
i'd say i'm normal.
you decide.
i love spontaneity--things are more exciting that way.
my life is unfortunately busier than i'd prefer it.
i'm working on that as well.
i want to save the world.
i'm currently devising a plan.
sometimes i get the urge to do something thrilling
and i ask around till i've got someone on board.
recently: bungee jumping. never been.
any takers?
i only ever feel completely alive when i'm
traveling--caught up in a beautiful, impenetrable wall of sound--drop-jawed in the middle of an incredible landscape:
WHITE SPACE
every once in awhile an individual can take me there too.
there's more of course... but i'll cut it here.
oh yeah, people tell me i'm kinda fun too. **shrug, shrug**

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
