About Me


i'll affect you slowly
as if you were having
a picnic in a dream.
there will be no ants.
it won't rain.

My Interests

literature, sharing, activism, biking everywhere and good conversation. meditation. mexican food and and beer. staying up late, waking up early, and cooking for friends. fuzzy blankets, coffee, tetris, tea, drawing, and making jewelry. learning! traveling, writing songs, watercolors, cats, and watching video games.

I'd like to meet:



mindful people full of love who realize that as individuals we are tiny dots on the peripheral screen, but together we are not useless and that we can help one another as best we can and embrace our kind. people who realize that we are not separated into categories based on race, creed, class and circumstance. people who don't want to stand still blocking the path of change anymore.

if life is meaningless, then aren’t you free?

you can look at it either two ways, the obvious one that everything is pointless and nothing you do matters so why try. or you can take solace in that fact and continue on with your life with a newfou...
