My Interests

Poi. Swingin fire poi from dusk till dawn, and various other poi practice equipment; Contact staff as well but not enough to brag about (yet, give me time); Spinning records, Dancing- Break, Tuting, Liquid (or some personal hybrid of them all that I tend to slip into); Performing in front of huge crowds. Music festivals, raves, anywhere there's thousands of people to entertain; Computers, Technology anything and everything; GOOOOD TYMES!!!

I'd like to meet:

More people on my level, people that are into good vibes, no matter what the atmosphere or location. NO DRAMA!! Ahh there's no use, due to circumstances beyond my control my life is a soap opera regardless. I'm always up for meeting a nice, sweet, female. I'd like to meet more trance, psy, and breaks lovers. I'm on the look out for some fellow Poi swingers, fire or not, hopefully nearby. I'd like to meet people that play hockey, im lookin to get on a men's league, my skillz are diminishing, must get Ice time. If u need a winger center or d'fenzman ur lookin at em, i can play it all. I wish i would have had the chance to meet Jesus, Jimi Hendrix, and Albert Einstein. I'd someday like to meet Curtis Joseph; Federov.

Music:

I love music, have to have it, i listen to new tunes everyday. I've been through lots of diferent varieties. I used to be heavily into alternative and rock back in my early years, later i moved over to a little bit of rap and hiphop, but in the past 3 years ive slowly progressed to the point of lisening to nothing but Progressive trance, break beats, some drum and bass, house, and generally all techno or electronic music. Favorites include Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Hybrid, Tiesto, George Acosta, Christopher Lawrence, JXL, Infected Mushroom, , My boy Jon from Atlanta *AKA dijital therapy* , All of the Panoptic DJ's (Shawn Harvick, Miss J, Nuhrii, Nosrial, Grant Walker, and Jali) Im allways supporting my local dj's round here, Dj's Cerebelum, Cypher, Gary Mac, Reece (when he spins HIS set), Jessie Plan, Kelly Dell, the list goes on and on, i know hundreds of DJ's that are allways throwin new mixes at me. Keeps me dancin and swingin poi all day long. I Dig lots of classic rock bands like The Dead, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin. And a few modern alternatives like Pearl Jam, Chilli Peppers, Tool, NIN, Counting Crows, Dave Mathews band.

Movies:

Fight Club,Dased and Confused, Half Baked, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Kevin Smith's films, The Princess Bride, The Goonies!!!, Spaceballs, Ferris Beueler's day off, The Big Lebowski.

Television:

Well i really dont watch much TV these days, but if i ever do its most likely The Sopranos , South Park, That 70's show, Discovery Chanel, History chanel, The Science chanel, and ESPN.

Books:

In the process of writing my own actually... More to come...
