About Me


Your Psyche is Blue
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you.
By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go.
While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side.

When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you

When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding What Color Is Your Psyche?

My Interests

Deep conversations and reality TV. Christianity and Burning Man. Art and triathlon. And aparagus.

I'd like to meet:

God....in time.

Music:

I believe that live music is the best, no matter if its rock, cajun or gregorian chanting. The electricity between audience and musician creates the experience, the notes are secondary. Unless its oldies, which always suck.

Movies:

I love documentaries. Some crazy human drama you just can't make up. My recent faves are Spellbound and Devil's Playground. Also high on my list are animated movies, especially Pixar; All time faves are The Iron Giant, Triplets of Belleville, Toy Story I and II, The Incredibles, and Sleeping Beauty-I know you...we met once upon a dream...-love the music...Tchaikovsky! Other notables are Coal Miners Daughter, City of God, High Fidelity, Shadowlands, Napoleon Dynamite (of course!), Junebug, Shaun of the Dead. I am a Netflix junkie with over 400 movies in queue!

Television:

Zenith with rabbit ears and 5 channels.

Books:

I wish I had the time and patience for reading. Maybe next year.

Heroes:

creative types, altruistic types and funny types
