About Me

I am a writer, painter, musician, songwriter, recording engineer and massage therapist. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and an appetite for life thats bigger than I can swallow. I have many ambitions, which include writing an autobiographical novel, recording an album, producing for other artists and musicians, being a DJ, starting my own business, traveling the world, and saving people from negative vibes. Lifes too short, so I feel a sense of urgency, yet I get so overwhlemed with wanting so much that I waist time contemplating what I want to do first. I guess I'll just take what comes first and let the rest fall into place :)

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Thereâ€™s nothing quite likeâ€¦Yoga in the morning; a walk through the park; the sound of ocean waves; the texture of beach sand under my feet; meditation in an art museum; the laughter of a child; the love and kindness of a stranger; candles in my apartment; wine tasting; creative cuisine; heart-lifting melodies; reiki; a massage on a rainy night; spiritual epiphanies; staring at the night sky on my balcony; spontaneous piano playing; singing in my car on a long drive; a long and passionate kiss; abandoning the perception of time just long enough to live in the present moment; music in 5.1 surround; live music in a chill little club; free-spirited dancing; beautiful old architecture; bad singing that sounds beautiful because it authentically articulates the depths of the soul; miracles in the mundane; the love and kindness of a listening friend; solitary sushi; a good wasabi rush; painting aimlessly; religious diversity; the art of language; obscure indie films that make perfect sense; walking only a mile to see the Dalai Lama; foolish wisdom and humble pie; paradoxes; working enough jobs to make a lot of new friends I donâ€™t have time for.
