A MASTER OF DISGUISE -- NEW PHOTOS OF MY MANY FACES:

| View Show | Create Your Own
"was wär wenn ich nicht hier wär? wäre ich eigentlich Millionär?"
--Barbara Morgenstern

"You can be a follower but who's your leader?"
--M.I.A.

In the middle of October 2005, I moved to San Francisco from Berlin to live with my brother and escape the cruel Berlin winter. I've been back in the states for almost three years now and I can whole-heartedly say I'm happy with my life--I love my job, my friends and it's great to be in Cali.
Berlin will still always feel like home. Sometimes I miss her fresh air, star-filled night sky, trees and the best F-ing music/club scene in the World!! She's a city with thousands of creative people who accept others and arent threatened by innovative individuals. With her contrasts in architecture, art, music and time I cant help but get the stimulation I thrive on!!
Some might say Im a Buddhist-hippie: always 2 sentences away from becoming a walking self-help book. They may be right, but I prefer to say Im an outgoing ambitious athletic glam/punk poet with a BA in anthropology who loves to dance.
I love music, art and literature that express a variety of emotions dark dissonance to blissful elation. Sometimes people misread my humor and they definitely misread my honesty. Im a deeply spiritual person who sees beauty around every corner but loves to look at dead animals on the sidewalk. I work hard, play hard, and I enjoy getting sweaty in both urban and rural settings.
I dont consider myself an artist. I create because I have to; It keeps me free. Freedom is knowing who you are, knowing what you want to do and then doing it. I deal with life directly: take advantage of every precious moment I've been given, challenge myself and fight my fears. At times its been rough, but Im thankful for everything in my life-the good the bad the beautiful and the ugly. I wouldnt change a thing.
Life, Fate and People amaze me everyday.

My Interests

MUSIC (!!!), Photography, poetry, art, traveling, backpacking, baths, boxing, culture jamming , chunky black sunglasses, the view of LA from Mulholland Dr, languages (German English Spanish and little bit of the other European Languages), reading, Working out, learning, riding my bike through the streets of Berlin late at night, Yoga, Teddy-boy fashion, New Romantic Fashion, Pioneer/Pirate, camping, swimming, falling asleep on the L to Bklyn at 5am, dark chocolate with blueberries and lavender, clubbing, hiking, costume parties, rhinestone brooches, Berlin, LA, Barcelona, Rome, Warsaw, Chicago, Austin, New York

I'd like to meet:


FOR FRIENDS: smart, healthy, goal-oriented people who like to explore life and the world but don't take themselves too seriously. Being a tad creative-crazy (not psycho-crazy) doesnt hurt either. STILL LOOKING FOR A POST PUNK BAND that needs a singer*

FOR A PARTNER: Dont baby me. Dont tame me. Im looking for someone who's an equal: not threatened by my ambition, my spirituality, my creativity or anything else. You should have your own life and personality. That doesnt mean that our's cant blend a little BUT equal does not mean same. If you find this pretentious or cocky, then perhaps we should just be friends. If you accept those requirements and meet those "for friends" as stated above, are sane and want a completely devoted partner then please step forward!
