About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace Layouts If I said I was psychic, and telepathic...Would that be okay? About me? My greatest qualities are my ear, my instincts, and my rhythm. My earliest memory is sitting on a stack of phonebook's, so I could play a set of drums. I was 4. My brother brought a Fender bass home when I was 8, he never saw it again. I like the Tuba(I'm a bit of a band geek). I played in an all girls band in Seattle during 'the time.' They made me an 'honorary chick.' I was a bike racer(and still am, but not so seriously) for 14 years, and competed to make the olympics in 96, and 2000. It hurt, both times. When I was 33 I found my Birthmother(I had been adopted at 4 day's old). It turns out I was a hippy love child. I also found my birthfather, and birthsister. They had been a family without me for 24 years. I'm currently working on a Bass concerto to perform with orchestra in the spring, I'm devoting many hours a day to this performance. I'm a stay at home dad, and full time student of music. I raise my son with every ounce of Love I have to give, except for the bit I save for my wife. I like weather, I really enjoy Coffee, and simple Red wine

My Interests

Searching. The Bass. Music making. Family. Yoga. Olympic lifting. Velodrome. Slow dancing to the acoustic version of Ripple by the Grateful Dead. First kisses atop the mountain as the sun goes down.

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

You are Temperance

Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change

Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary forces.

Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering." The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two. Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.
