About Me

My website is here.

Easily bored, frequently distracted. .. Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

My Interests

horseback riding, hockey, housing, hanging with friends (what's with me and the letter "h"?), latin dancing, soccer, tennis, action sports, vibrant colors, interior design, architecture, photography, filmmaking, writing, deconstruction.

I'd like to meet:

thinkers. feelers. doers. dewars?

The first athlete who mentions in his post-game interview "we played WELL tonight."

People who have gotten old enough to be comfortable in their own skin. And that includes not tightening their own skin. The body is beautiful, people. Unless there's something not working... damn, leave it alone.

Music:

h is orange, woven, prince, elvis costello, beck, pavement, john coltrane, ravi coltrane, ornette coleman, djavan, gal costa, jeff buckley. Anything that I can salsa to or groove to. That sounds awful but my friends know what i'm talkin about.

Movies:

The Princess Bride, The Big Lebowski, Lord of the Rings, Jean de Florette, Pirates of the Caribbean, Queen Margot, Slapshot, Happy Gilmore, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Napoleon Dynamite. Not necessarily in that order.

Television:

Weeds, House, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,Prison Break, The Riches, Lost, Dew Action Sports Tour. RIP: Deadwood, West Wing, The Black Donnellys, Firefly

Books:

The Princess Bride, Griffin & Sabine, LOTR, everything by John Le Carre, Atlas Shrugged, The Confederacy of Dunces, Harry Potter, Middlesex, Razor's Edge, Tender is the Night. I still have my childhood copy of The House of Pooh.

Heroes:

People who volunteer. The people who go rushing in when we go rushing out. I stayed in my living room in NYC and watched CNN for 3 days and felt like I could barely breathe after 9/11, but they went in and dug and hoped and believed. Now they can barely breathe. The firemen in LA where I live now, battling heat and flames for days straight without any sleep. And those doing the same in San Diego, where I briefly lived and where my old neighborhood was evacuated. People who fight for what is right no matter what. People who dare to dream of better times with better ethics and a better world.

For my sister.

Sharon didn't have it easy in life, from the very beginning. She was transverse in the womb during labor and it was a difficult delivery. Although she excelled in English and reading skills, she had m...

Anybody need a house?

So I passed my real estate exam. I am now, officially, (well except for some fingerprints and paperwork), a licensed real estate salesperson. I'm even signed up with a realtor - Keller Williams in Mar...

The USPS. Not a happy holiday story.

I was told today that "although it USUALLY gets there in 2-3 days..." a priority mail package can take up to 14 days to be delivered. Fourteen days - what's Priority about that?! I already had my doub...
