About Me

You will be sucked dry by a leech. I'd stay away from swimming holes, and stick to good old cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when your toe scrapes the bottom.

My Interests

I need more finger puppets!! Biodeisel! Green Building, art projects, moving mountains - finding center, live music - new music - seeking a different sound, hiking/ camping, Eastern religions, yoga, glazing & firing, reproductive freedom, button-pushing, Mayan archeology, fighting the good fight - gimmie more of that "liberal media bias"!

I'd like to meet:

Those who create possibility more than they complain about circumstance. People who implement the meaning of 'tenacity' within their relationships. People of their word who value that which is true. Someone who's able to be selfless without losing their identity. Someone who knows who they are & what they want & can communicate it; confident without being cocky. I'm looking for an equal, but also a teacher. Those who question reality, turn things on their ear & look at them sideways; make the experince more interesting, rather than constantly trying to escape, avoid, or delay it. Those who acknowledge their mortality but focus on the infinite.

The Center Doesn’t Hold

This phrase keeps shouting in my head. I don't know where I first heard it, but I find it applies to the mechanical, the emotional, anything with the idea of form. Things take shape, and if they are s...

My beat is correct...

I have been to so many great shows in the past month! I saw Frank Black, formerly of the Pixies, at Cafe du Nord.  I also saw Joe Ely there the following week.  I went to the Boom Boom Room ...
