About Me

Recent NEW ART WORK on slate.. page 2-3 ...This summer I interned with CEED working on their Read between the Signs project: http://ceed.allegheny.edu/A&EI/home.html ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------Berry's integrated education of the head, the heart and the hands unites a challenging scholastic program with opportunities for spiritual and moral growth, worthwhile work and significant service to others. Today, as throughout history, Berry encourages students and graduates to be more and do more for themselves and others. Berry became one of the nation's most successful educational experiments. Berry has an excellent record of sound growth.----------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------I'm a student, at a college, in the middle of the nowehere that is North Western Pennsylvania. It's beautiful round here for 3 months... then hell comes, bringing snow instead of fire... the devil reversed his shit for us folk. I have two majors... International Studies and Art. I like to paint. My most recent works have been paintings on old roofing slate..more to come on that... Fine tipped sharpies in assorted colors are perhaps the most exciting items I have purchased in the last few years. I like riding bikes for fun and for more practical purposes. My old bike was called the Eliminator until some bastard stole it. I appreciate honesty, and passion. I like human beings but often have issues with people (it's all relative). I am learning the mandolin. I like to sing but I'm afraid of the stage. I enjoy exploring cultures , dimensions of the mind, humanness, urban jungles, and natural cities and so many other things that I gottstastop writing before my mind explodes from output overload....

My Interests

I like nature, water, mountains, rivers and the like. Bridge Jumping is a favorite summer past time. Canada is awesome. Kittens are cute, especially mine. I enjoy good food, attempting to be healthy ( especially after so many years of intoxicating debauchery) I was a gymnast once and I like to do handstands. Curiosity. the vast potential of the human mind...I'm in love with travelling. I love it that much. striving for a little more love and a little less hate . Honesty and Balance are my religion. Straight forwardness is my Je sus.
