About Me



I won the most improved attendance award of my senior class in high school... I've been a trouble maker my whole life. But I'm nice.
I love loud laughter.No, I'm not REALLY a swinger (though we could probably debate it). It's a joke. That and me being a body builder and 4'1.You know.You can't trust anything you see on myspace as being true.That would be silly.

My Interests

My friends. Aren't they fabulous? Music particularly hip hop soul jazz funk and even some classical sometimes, peoples social struggle, poetry, art. Universal access to health care. Rethinking the separation of the mind and body. Yoga. Bicycles. Taking apart "common knowledge".

I'd like to meet:

Genuine peeps that aren't afraid to make noise. That laugh loud and often. That speak up. That think critically. People with good introspection skills. I don't really meet people on myspace but if you want to send me an email and introduce yourself I would be pleased I'm sure.
