capoeira, solar, surfing, climbing steep ass hills on my road bike, cheesy ass acoustic guitar songs, cruisers, flex decks, hanging out with my lovely foolio friends, trying to be a tri-athlete, building big ass geodesic domes!!!
I'd like to meet:
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusations of betrayal and not betray your own soul, if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy.I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, everyday, and if you can source your own life from its presence.I want to know if you can live with failure, yours, mine and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon 'yes."It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in empty moments.- Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Music:
well it all started with my dad and his records. I would have to say that I was raised with the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, a bit of rocking roll, a pinch of motown and plenty purple rain. I probably heard the white album and songs in the key of life ten thousand times. Thank you DAD! I forever know every lyric and when the song ends the next one is already playing in my head. When I got a little older two albums kind of rocked my work- A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels & The Paths Of Rhythm, and Ben Harper - Fight for your mind. Woah shit...you mean people are making good new music. Now I will listen to anything. I have great love for new and old music. Blues, to techno, to bossa nova, to rock, to reggae, to whatever. If its got the hook, then I like it. The ones that are sticking in my head now are Magic Sam, G Love, Buddy Guy, Thievery Corporation, Blackalicious, De La Soul, Ben Harper, James Brown, and oah my god....Otis Redding
