each day i want to be out in the sunshine using it to fuel my creativity... drive me to my next destination... and inspire me to keep looking and letting it happen. i don't want life to be easy if it means i'm unhappy. i'd rather ease on in if it allows me to enjoy each moment as it unfolds.

::::::realizations come at random moments and quite often after they need to be known • its only after we lose everything that we're free to doing anything::::::

... to be an artist is to deal with one's state of consciousness and the shape of one's perception...

My Interests

art... design... photography... creating... listening to, discovering, and feeling music... stalking itunes... writing... driving... exploring everything... going to an obscene amount of concerts... shakin it... random road trips... playing outside... zoning out... hiking... biking... walking... running... showering... sharing stories... getting inspired... sitting... moisturizing... laughing... cleaning my car... having bbqs in the winter... going to sox games - especially october ones... being silly... finding new ways to entertain myself... listening... paying attention... just... being... random

I'd like to meet:

• an inspiration. one who challenges and teaches me. one who enlightens. one who remembers. keep me on my toes. surprise me. be different. be random. go with your gut. don't follow the norm or worry about what anyone thinks. be unique. inspire everyone •
brandon boyd. i want to shake his hand at the dawn of a new day. then i want to sit outside on the sand or on the top of a mountain with him and watch the sun rise. i want to sit and just experience nature and the amoebas of life with him. i want to be in his presence. hear him speak. hear him think. i kinda just want to be there when he thinks about something and decides thats what he's going to write and sing about. i want to have a conversation about how our thoughts collide. i want to sip wine and draw pictures. i want to take pictures of things with him. i wanna play photographer. i want to ride bikes. i wanna dance and jump around. i want him to teach me to play the bongos. i want us to speak in silence. i want us to meditate. then when the sun goes down and its getting late, i want to shake his hand again, give him a hug and say... thank you.
