About Me

Be sure to check out my blog on life down here at greymatterconcertos.blogspot.com! See if you guys can figure out what this chick is saying, actually quite interesting stuff! Anywho, this is Guatemala dudes. Antigua, where I will be living, is highlighted in this video beginning right after they discuss the colorful patterns and the lady who is making them and talking about it being a family tradition that has gone on for years......just listen for the lady to say "La Antigua..." ENJOY!{}

VISIT OHMYGOV.COM!! I JUST STARTED AS A COLUMNIST THERE!! Well peeps, here I am. I have come to the conclusion that my life of travel and adventure has just begun. I moved to Guatemala to join Safe Passage (safepassage.org, if you wish to visit or learn more, email me at [email protected]) as a PR Rep, and also to put my writing skills to the test (read "can someone REALLY survive off of this pen and paper?!?!?"). I am positive that I will be here at least until August 2009. After that, who knows. A new friend has suggested living in and running an English pub in the English countryside for a few months next year, that sounds amazing, Africa calls my name more and more these days, Russia would be amazing as well.....DC, New York, Chicago. Who knows where I will land next. Life is a plethora of choices and flavors and I am just discovering each of them.....so much more than what I knew before. I am a lot like a fatty in a brand new cake shop yo! One thing, of course, remains, and that is all of the amazing people that I have met along my path, especially those in Michigan. No matter where I end up, you crazy ass peeps will always be with me!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Let's see...Willy Wonka....that'd be sweet (get it??)....Vladimir Putin....the guy who made my really cool coat....the son of a bitch that invented commercials....Penn and Teller....John Gotti....AL CAPONE!....Casey and the Sunshine Band....Morris Day and the motherf**kin Time!....Santa....any mythical midget....whoever has to write the phonebook....some travel show host (so that I may murder them and take their job)....and....how about....Bob Barker's illegitimate black son. Serious note: Queen Elizabeth I. That's a good list for now....and perhaps a heffelump or woozle....I'm done.

The moments we share
