..phonetically: kwin toke-yeh. irish/german/japanese.
working toward my master's in speech-language pathology. i don't deny where i'm from or where i'm going. i hold onto my roots as tightly as i do my aspirations. i know what i'm about; this i don't ask of you. i seek not validation, but commonality.
i keep a camera, book, and flower press close at all times. i like deciduous forests. summers that never end. fresh fruits so succulent their juices drip down ya' chin. coastal breezes and driving aimlessly. organic thinking. environmental consciousness. i believe that quality prevails over quantity, good prevails over evil. sex is better when accompanied by love. life is not about the accumulation of material goods, it is about the accumulation of positive experiences. at the end of the day it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive or how much you spent on your designer handbag; these truths still remain: louis vuitton will always be tacky, and polluting the planet will never be fashionable. los angeles is both my lover and my nemesis. it is the saintly voice in my ear and the sinful gleam in my eye. my city is a cold glass of horchata with melon and walnuts. either you get the metaphor or you don't. no matter;
LA is home.
