About Me

I want to enjoy life. I want to experience as much as I can. I value honesty. I try to be real. I fail. At many things. But I keep trying, & striving, both to be the best person I can, as well as to experience as much as possible. I am a paradox of beliefs. People call me lots of things, and most of them have some truth in them. But I try, and will continue to try as long as I live.

Cool People and Organizations Worth Checking Out and Supporting:

ESCAPE ARTISTS

SEVENTHSWAMI

RESYNTHESIZE

SIDE SHOW STUDIOS

ALCHEMIST-Community Development Corporation

My Interests

Anything with my friends! The Village. Red wine. Sushi. Newcastle. Guiness. I like to watch movies, particularly comedies & action/drama's. Music is really important to me. I can play a little guitar (and I do mean a little). But more importatntly, I love listening to music--it is so powerful! It can calm you, excite you, get you motivated, or even make a non-dancing guy like me get up and shake his ass. Certain songs can bring back specific memories of great times, or of unfortunate events past. I also like to play sand volleyball, although I haven't had a chance to in years.

What makes me sick?

Nothing . . .

Unknown annoyances.

Sitting in my cupboard is a can of vegitarian refried beans. Not sure how they got there--I probably grabbed the wrong can, seeing as I usually try to ONLY eat things made out of animal. However, th...
