new project - preview of Drunk Self Portrait II (movements 3 and 5)(turn the volume down!)

My Interests

really getting to know people, learning from one another, optimism, others that are optimistic, coming back to myself, looking, painting, video, editing, making sounds, spirituality, eating, cooking, charli, traveling, getting my hands dirty, all of my friends - those true connections, selling things on ebay, structures, the human condition, flirting, levels of consciousness, paintings with ween prints shoved between the canvas and the supports. ..

Television:

"deathwhen we know that death is near, we must complete our unfinished business in this world. yet there is only one thing that is always complete -- our love toward other people here, in the present moment.death is the breaking of the vessel in which our spirit was enclosed. you should not confuse the vessel with what is inside it.if you are afraid of death, you should remember that the fear is not in death itself, but in you. becoming a better person means that you will fear death less. no matter what happens to you. you will always be happy if you are united with god.one day you will realize that you have never really been born but have always lived. it is then you will realize that you will never die!"-leo tolstoy..
