TomV

Don't work for a living. Create for a life.

About Me

Sparrow by you. On a rock it lands, expresses no opinion. Judges not by how you see it, or by how you see yourself. Cocks its head left. Cocks its head right. Lengthens its wings, and leaves. Those who ask where it has gone - have not yet seen it flying back.

My Interests

playing music, laughing, writing, making movies, sitar, 4, eastern philosophy, zen, drawing comics, orange, taking walks, creating, tang, anything medieval...

I'd like to meet:

someone with giant hands...
