I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a pretty down to Earth kind of guy. I like the middle road, neither extravagant nor ascetic. I am the peace in my life, the eye of the storm, and sometimes the storm itself. I am Yin and Yang, hard and soft. I am an observer and a man of action.

If there ever was a meaning to life, I would say it's to experience all that we can experience. Every joy and pain, laugh and tear, every person we meet, everything we feel, and every thing that we do. Every moment, we weave the web of our reality. I could live 1000 lifetimes today and still want more.

I love anything that combines talent and creativity, especially unconventional performing arts. Dancing with poi is one of my favorite creative outlets, and I am teaching others to spin. Even without poi, I enjoy a good night of dance whether it is at a party or around a fire. Connecting the mind to body and using it to express is a true form of art and magick.

Background: It's not a computer generated image. This is the electron microscope (SEM) picture of the fossilized shell from a radiolarian, an ancient oceanic creature. The microscopic world is pretty amazing. Some day, I hope I can play with an electron microscope. Any one got one I can borrow? Just for the weekend, of course :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Any one with an open mind and a sense of humor. Good people that I can share experiences with, and any one that I can trust to bring around my friends.
