About Me

Academic whore by choice. Started the PhD program in Clinical Psychology at the University of Kentucky in Jan. 2006 (which has led to my premature graying). I'm a slave to the journal articles, boring books on assessment are some of my best friends, and my office is my second home. It's challenging yet enjoyable.. I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing! Well.. there is the bahamas and Jake Gyllenhaal, but... Mindfulness meditation is my primary focus as of now, but I hope to branch out into other alternative modalities like yoga, reiki, CAM, etc. in my scientific career. I want to co-create a new global consciousness and to help heal the world. I believe compassion, love, and empathy are intrinsic human virtues.. I'll just be spending the rest of my life trying to convince people of that, and of course, live that way myself! My friends call me E-Dub, but you can call me Dub. By the way, George Bush can suck it! Fuck you, bitch! Oh yeah, and I'm a vegetarian. Thought I should throw that in here somehow..We all construct our own realities. If you want to be a part of mine, let me know. It'd be a fabulous ride. :)I am is.. World peace through inner peace..
If graduate school fails, there's always the second dream: Being a back-up dancer for Madonna. :)
Jem and her bitches: Truly, truly outrageous.

My Interests

Dancing (my hips don't lie), breakin', glowsticks, guitar, AZ Roller Derby, the beach, listening to music, partying, hanging with my friends, listening, interacting with people, Eastern philosophy, Consciousness and learning from altered states of, Alternate realities, psychics, shamans, the paranormal, Meditation, Yoga, Being aware and self-aware, LOVE, smiling, laughing, living my life. Working out. And let's not forget, criticizing the government and the hegemonic system. Oh yes, and if you know me - drinking of course!

(---Thanks, Josh!)

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet drunks and nymphos, haha! No, those are the people that I already hang out with. I also want to meet fun people who know "how to have a good time" and like "long walks on the beach". In short, I want to meet people who are exactly like my role model, David S. Rock on, Madonna! :) But if you can hang with my "posse" or aren't into bullshit, I suppose that's good enough. Willingness to have philosophical discussions, political debates, getting wild, and sarcasm are a plus.
