About Me



the laughing heart ( by Charles Bukowski ) your life is your life. dont let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them, take them. you cant beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.

My Interests

i love the beach, especially on my bike or skates. also into reading and being informed and opinionated, cutting my own hair, wearing costumes and having dance parties in my apartment. love to learn, try everything, travel the world and live life all the way.

I'd like to meet:

friends, babes, genuine people

Music:

i'll listen to anything from nwa to mozart: black rebel motorcycle club, white stripes, beck, spoon, old 97's, black eyed peas, basement jaxx, radiohead, jane's addiction, tribe called quest, frank sinatra, aretha franklin, marvin gaye, paul simon, stevie wonder, diggable planets, public enemy, beastie boys, janet jackson, bill withers, pixies, red hot chili peppers, beatles, neil diamond, the cure, jason mraz, lyle lovett, janis joplin, bob marley, rem, ozomatli, madonna. my all-time favorites are prince and tom waits.

Movies:

wild at heart, pulp fiction, the graduate, love actually, whale rider, the big lebowski, me and you and everyone we know, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Television:

jeopardy, the daily show, colbert report, the simpsons, family guy, entourage ..

Books:

anything by bukowski, "memoirs of a geisha," nick hornby, "the kite runner," aimee bender, david sedaris, eddie little, stuff that's alive and feels like you're reading it right out of the writer's head.

Heroes:

(maya angelou) Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a womanPhenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
