About Me

Does anyone really read these myspace pages anyway? [Godbless you, whoever you are.] I'm a busy guy these days trying to hold down three jobs, and looking for a fourth - [just dreaming mostly.] I work every day, every night, and every weekend. I really enjoy getting to know the people I work with. I get to work with clients in their daily lives and hopefully I can help. I love my job. What is actually better than that? I live with a client with Cerebral Palsy who is faced with seeming limitations daily - who doesn't know walking or running except that he'd like to. I work with another client with Multiple Sclerosis [MS] and one with Parkinson's Disease. I work with a client with Dementia issues, and another who is recovering from a stroke. I care for a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing hormone therapy and another who is currently recovering from a masectomy [surgical removal of the breast]. I like infusing alternative therapies into my work because at my level of profession no one seems to mind if you are willing to suggest additional forms of supportive therapy. I fully believe in the healing power of music therapy, chormatherapy, aromatherapy, nutrition, and friendship to overcome every human illness and adverse condition. I can tell you that the people who want the most out of life seem to find a way to get it. I work with people who are otherwise young and healthy who can't help but complain and some who are 100 years old who don't do anything but laugh and smile. If there's one thing I've learned from my life its that we all lead different lives.I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing when I look around at the world today. I try to keep an eye on my own health even as I'm keeping an eye on the health of my clients. I still love yoga because I love to breathe and stretch. I ride my bike to work. I'm vegetarian because vegetarians make way better lovers [WAY], and vegan because eating animal by products is a kind of punishment to my body, the earth, and our future.I like people who make mistakes because I'm one of them.I believe that people more beautiful than models and Hollywood stars are working at the grocery store in your neighborhood and live right around the corner from where I live. I'm not sure the world has ever seen anyone as radiant and beautiful as you my friends, all my love, you are my God, my Goddess! - As always, I pray at your lotus feet.i'm egregiously long lost in love, profanely out of touch, woefully short of patience, but patiently waiting, i've superficially tested my faith, i tell myself i'm trying really hard to transcend, i've contemplated until i was blue in the face, i've failed at everything i've ever tried - at least at first, i've decided to improve. Lauging in love, and then laughing some more, washed by the sea, kissed by the sky, having a good time, happy to be here, just writing the music and living the song, and crying out in song and being crushed by the music, a little [uh? um?] disoriented, i've sampled the punch, i'm finding my way, shaking my fist at the sky once and awhile, a few tears, a lot of memories, a lot of really great memories, and most of the best ones are with you. You and all our friends in that special intersection between bliss and reality where there are just enough dreams to fill the dreamers heads with songs.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, Toni Morrison, and you.
