Peter

I'm Peter. I live in Berkeley, California. Happy Spring! I love my life and treat everyday as the adventure it is. I work for an awesome non-profit. I know secret places that locals walk by everyday like caves and hot springs. I love to ski, camp, hike, swim in the ocean, puff tough, cook and eat good food. I try to know peoples names that I encounter regularly like the bus driver, the post woman, the homeless, and all the incredible, incredibly hard working people in the service industry. I believe in God and believe that God loves everyone and is pretty much best analogized by the absolute love that I have for my family and fellow humans as well as by the resilient and cyclical power of nature. I also like partying so hard it hurts, Not partying, partying like a rock star, partying like a beatnik & partying like a gypsy. I love the Opera, I love rock and roll, I love good hip hop, I love singing folk songs and free-styling drunk around a camp fire. I am not afraid of dying so much as I am afraid of not living life to the fullest. I am a gentleman, I am an asshole, I am selfless, I am selfish, I know everyone, I am still getting to know myself etc. I fall in love with something or someone almost everyday. I am constantly amazed by the beauty of life and try to daily give thanks for the immense blessings of my life. I have a lot of love to give and a lot to learn. I love to be silly and make other people laugh or at least smile. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I like to fix other peoples problems. I aspire to write the great American novel. I have stories about the stories I tell and anecdotes about the stories. I think that if America can't figure it out we should start a country called Caligoregoshington and I will be our ceremonial emperor. I am Peter. I am from Berkeley. I'll take you apart on the b-ball court, the ultimate field, the dance floor, or the drunken shit-talking-fest, just to piece you back together on your first day of being unemployed in years, the day you realize we are all mortal, or when your best friend runs off with your girl. I am with you in this experience of being human, for better or worse. -pmcl
