I am here for Friends

About Me

Full on Aries. Sometimes that is the bane of my existence. Most times the opposite.... depends on the situation.

I'll be seeing this band 9/26 in Hollywood at The Avalon:

My Interests

Live music, my circle of excellent friends, being in nature, living as lightly on the earth as I can, paying off my debt, making my apartment into a sanctuary, reading, learning what leisure actually feels like, travelling, meditation, and the zen arts of pilates and yoga... maybe kickboxing soon to come.

I'd like to meet:

The creator of this universe; myself as a baby; any band member of all the bands I love, my great-grandparents; a pirate (tho I think I've met some modern-day ones); my soulmate; people who love to make other peoples' lives better. More later.... fine.

Music:

Anyone who knows me knows the first name on the list must always be Widespread Panic! I like a little of everything... Led Zepellin, Morphine, Jeff Buckley, Steely Dan, Alice in Chains, Fleetwood Mac, Ministry, Marilyn Manson, Rusted Root, Screaming Trees, Thievery Corporation, Hamsa Lila, Sisters of Mercy, Allman Bros, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, Tosca, and lots of jazz and electronica (especially asian-electronica) jazz where I don't have a clue who the musicians are...

Movies:

Yes, just not the ones full of violence and dread or horrible futures. I like happy endings. Rock Star, The Matrix, Almost Famous, The Craft, Monsters Inc., The Village, What The Bleep Do We Know....

Television:

Mostly when I have it on, its for background noise, tho lately I have been more into silence. I like the rockumentaries on VH1. I like PBS. I admit I am a big fan of Sex & the City and sometimes watch Celebrity Fit Club!

Books:

I rarely read fiction, tho I loved the Clan of the Cave Bear series and Anne Rice's Vampire series. I like biographies, autobiographies, self-growth stuff. Wayne Dyer's "The Power of Intention" on audio is one I HIGHLY recommend. I listen to that while road-tripping.

Heroes:

Anyone who perseveres and keeps the chin up even when it seems futile. And those who can actually see the positive side of that futility.

Too hot not to shop!

My apartment has been torturing me these past couple way-too-frickin-HOT days.  It is all peaceful and beautiful in the morning with the sun streaming in through the blinds, but then by around 2p...

I dont wanna go back to work ;-(

.... or, at least, I don't want to go back to my normal schedule!  This last week was so relaxing.  I taught 6 hours of pilates instead of the usual 14-17.  Everything else was the same...
