I'm two quarters and a heart down...

About Me

All About
ME!Be The Change You Want To See In The World -- Mahatma GandhiI appreciate sarcasm, charm and wit.. I love to laugh as much as possible.. at anything, at everything, at you, and mostly at myself... I have my feet firmly planted on the ground and yet I am a dreamer... If you can see past the cynical exterior you'll find a hopeless romantic who still believes in fairytale endings and love at first sight...
Ok.. enough of that... somebody say something funny...



My Interests

Art, architecture-- Mies Van Der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames-- Andy Warhol-- Jean-Michel Basquiat SAMO©-- Duchamp-- Frank Gehry-- Mid-Century Modern furniture and design,-- I'm obsessed with France, Paris inparticular and anything relative to it. Music, writing, traveling....Oh and... Collecting useless trivia facts in my head so that I can't remember anything really important...

I'd like to meet:

Jean-Michel Basquiat- not likely since he's dead..
I'd LOVE to meet Architect Frank Gehry-- Other than that... People who don't suck...
P.S. Non-shirt wearing "beefcakes" need not apply..
PAY FOR SOUP/BUILD A FORT/SET THAT ON FIRE..SAMO
