About Me


I'm eliminating the word 'hate' from my vocabulary, its a bad & powerful word, and theres enough of it already in the world. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual and I have the idea that there is something more to the universe than we can't fathom.
I love meeting new people, but I'm just as happy hanging with the old friends. I don't pretend to be things I'm not, and I certainly don't play games. I've come to be happy with my self, as I don't want to define my happiness in another. This doesn't mean that happiness cant be found in another, but that it should exist internally on its own. I've been forced to deal with tremendous weights of emotional and physical tasks, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again, for the right people.
I love Brasil, Salvador/Bahia in particular. I have family there now, and one day I will have my own house there. Of all the places Ive been in my life, I feel a connection with it, the way of life and the people... I don't know why particularly, but I respond to things like that.

My Interests



video is one of my primary interest's... sampling, sequencing, timing, loops, and choreographing imagery, audio and the story... making unofficial remixes of movies, music video's, mash-ups....

outside of video, I love to go biking, working out, swimming, beach volley ball, ultimate frisbee, sailing, water sports, going to the beach, playing disc golf, pool, darts, foosball, video games, watching movies, cooking, home improvement, landscaping (decorative and functional), drawing, painting, photo manipulation...

I'd like to meet:

anyone who knows the difference between they're, their, there and to, too... im not looking for all around PERFECT grammar... but damn... ignorance is running rampant...

other indigo children, people who aren't into games, free thinking individuals and... wait a minute... how about this. I don't want to meet egotistical opinionated people (not saying some ego's bad) shallow, maniacal psycho knaves, irrefutable idots, emotionally irresponsible or intellectually inept individuals... I dont like "reading between the lines" (sure i know how) and I won't tolerate infantile and helpless behavior. Stand up for yourself (within your rights) and be heard!

The single most attractive trait to me, is someone who knows what they want and how to get it with honor and grace.

Say sumthin' quick suckah:
Put yo shit to say here.
