don't chase it, replace it!

About Me

I enjoy being alive. The highs and lows are thrilling and all in all its a pretty great ride. Also, hear that song? Yeah, thats me playing keys and singing. Just a little shameless self-promotion (check out my musical projects TOTARA and SIBLING RIVALY). Have a nice day! I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music, reading, travel, nature, partying, sleeping, philosophy, psychology. Contemplating people, the world and the universe. It is so beautiful here... I also love that Magic Hour right before sunset, when the whole place is purple.

I'd like to meet:

People who are more afraid of living a life devoid of fire than of living a life in fear of being burned. People interested in creating, as well as maintaining, honest and true relationships with others... The love i have for my friends doesn't fade.

Music:

ok, here goes a sample list: Bjork, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, John Coltrane, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Heart, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Chopin, Debussy, Brahms, Barber, Edgar Meyer, Ella Fitzgerald, Brad Mehldau, Jobim, Cal Tjader, Medeski Martin and Wood, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Jill Scott, Delta Nove, Fiona Apple, Paula Cole, Tori Amos, Paula Cole, Ani Difranco, Mirah, Sigur Ros, Muse, Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, Beck, Badly Drawn Boy, Espers, The Cardigans, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc...

Movies:

I tend to like most movies as long as I am entertained or inspired.

Television:

meh

Books:

Ishmael, If On a Winters Night a Traveler, Invisible Cities, Time Machine, The Martian Chronicles, The God of Small Things, Brave New World, The Giver, Siddartha, Jitterbug Perfume, whatever book I happen to have just finished reading...

Heroes:

Those who have found balance; those who live a life of respect for themselves as well as the people, the animals, the earth around them.
