About Me

i have alot of energy..probably misdirected more often than i'm likely to admit... but once i'm sleeping... oh how i want to stay there forever.

My Interests

traveling, photographing, learning spanish, riding my old bicycle into the ground, walking with eyes open, driving on back roads, road rage, obscurities, idiosyncrasies, beaches, mountains, woods, napping in my sleeping bag, moonlight, city lights, old buildings, faces, landscapes, watching, listening, crying, laughing until i cry.

Music:

b.dylan, t.waits, n. young, talking heads, sparks, pixies, kinks, zombies, arcade fire, beatles, regina spektor, iron n wine, neutral milk hotel, j. cash, elo, led zeppelin... que mas tu necisitas saber?

Television:
