My Interests

my idea of fun varies but it could involve all or none of the following.. writing, recording, and performing music.... grassroots political organizing, research, breaking bread with family....musing at nature(because my life is often removed from it)...

everyday i realize i'm acting out of a very real and pressing need to liberate myself.....

it's all about this on the daily.

so i can flex like my man ova here one day.

I'd like to meet:

..you know who you are... the passionate.. the committed... the open.. the humble... the gifted....and of course the vegan!

if i can be anywhere other than on the road with them, i'd be locked in a library with a piano, an endless supply of vegan pizza, and her.
