BURNING MAN 2006:Anyone who takes myspace too seriously needs to get outside more and get a hoop on! :o)

My Interests

This year's Presidential Election. On a lighter note, Surfing, Hula-hooping, Funky Kitchenware, relocating back to the 'ham Whee!The next move I'm gonna shake down in HOOPDANCE! Yes!Burning Man and its importance to the default world. Friendships that last my whole life--chaff and grain, sifted--keeping it real.Flowers, red wine that's worth sipping, fresh, fresh organic, local food, rock climbing again, learning to fly fish, relearning to use a compass, saltwater kayaking, any sport that doesn't involve using an engine....oh, yes...and the pink helmet head art project: :) (see below...)

I'd like to meet:

Stephen Colbert ..-A Cool Cat That Doesn't Need a Litter Box....heh....(and)Birds of a feather, boys who have manners, girls who don't, tomboys who love glitter & glamrockers. People who have generous hearts and love the outdoors, and think volkswagens are neat. Preferably someone who doesn't think hippie is a four letter word. (it's six, silly). Someone who thinks it'd be cool to live in a desert mountain town @ over 3000'+ somewhere outside the urban jungle....someone who loves inclement weather and the hot, hot sun too. BeReal & RiseAbove...must love garlic. Musicians. People who care. I like jacks of all trades and jills of all triumphs. Wicked smart authentic people who are goofy and don't expect me to explain myself all over again.
