I am here for Friends

About Me

Music is one of my passions, and I love gettin' my ears on new stuff--that's the main reason I participate in this crazy social experiment known as Myspace so share MFers...My credos: love and live passionately without expectation; TRY EVERYTHING ONCE!, Go crazy, and let no one come to you without leaving better and happier. It's like this: If life were a large puddle of accidentally spilled wine on the kitchen floor, I want to be the Bounty papertowel that absorbs it all up--leaving very little behind save a lemony fresh sparkle and shine. :0)I am just trying to matter and do something important--whatever that might be, I'll get there with a little luck and shit load of hard work. If you want to know more, ask away (I love a good convo), but bear in mind 'talking too much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself' (Nietzsche)

My Interests

Here's a few: Running, reading, traveling, learning, people, DANCING!, anything and everything having to do with music, BASEBALL!!!, ice cream, conversation, hugs, happiness, passion, change

Movies:

Anything that makes me: laugh, think, feel inspired, or say "shit yeah...that blowed up good". Like my music, I tend to like my movies indie - something that shakes my consciousness and grapples with the gritty details of being human.

Television:

No shows that I really watch religiously but some guilty pleasures include America's Next Top Model, Girls Next Door, House, Friends, and the Colbert Report.

Books:

Anything thought-provoking or inspiring - I enjoy books by Roald Dahl, Paulo Coehlo, Mitch Albom, Chuck Klosterman, Chuck Palahniuk, the great philosopher guys who have been waxing about life's great questions (Socrates, Nietzche, Kant, Kierkergard)...anything that makes me think and keeps me interested and challenges that wrinkly, gray matter inside my head.

Heroes:

My Mom!!, Gandhi, resilient and motivated and thoughtful people...
