Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried before...

About Me


Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- by Marianne Williamson
Live every Friday w/host Johnny Daniels and special guests
I believe in being:
open minded
striving beyond "should" thinking
mindful of what you can manifest in your friends lives
brave (acting in the face of fear)
nurturing to those that have a desire to grow
and hopeful for the best even when i expect the worst.
I practiced Aikido, which is a japanese martial art that revolves around the idea of being in harmony with your attacker instead of being on the defensive.
I try to live my life the same way with myself, others, and the universe at large.
After 8 years and a 2nd degree black belt, I've decided to change my martial art practice to Tai Chi.
I have many tattoos.
My body is a temple, it just happens to have stained glass.
Places I've lived:
Tuscon, Anaheim, Buena Park, Stanton, Garden Grove, Jamul, Memphis, Bartlett, Glendale, Phoenix, New Orleans, Cleveland Heights, San Diego, and now San Francisco.
I'm a gypsy, the wind calls to me and I listen.
I've learned many things inside this wide country of ours;
Mostly that no matter where you go, people still can't drive... :P
For the first 12 years after my best friend inspired me to start dancing I danced like no one was watching...
After 13 years, I now dance like everyone is!
Hobbies of mine:
Themed Parties- nothing breaks down social economic barriers then playing dress up.
Burlesque Shows, Tiki Crawls, Viva Las Vegas, Rollerskating, Sewing, Going to War (SCA), Picnics (under a full moon), Sitting at the Beach, Playing Pool, Boogie Boarding, Card and Board Games w/Friends.

My Interests

"And the day came when the risk it took
to remain tight inside the bud
was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom."
Anais Nin

Endings...Beginnings
In the circle of life
Endings are new beginnings
Love is boundless
and when contained tries to break free from all restraints
The choice to run wild or broken
Between freedom or slavery
The choice
Is always yours.
Nobody can save you
Save yourself...

"Human beings,
who are almost unique
in having the ability
to learn from the experience of others,
are also remarkable
for their apparent disinclination
to do so."
Douglas Adams

“Love is the ultimate outlaw.
It just won't adhere to any rules.
The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice.
Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet.
That would mean that security is out of the question.
The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate.
My love for you has no strings attached.
I love you for free.”

Tom Robbins

I'd like to meet:

What i'm looking for: (if you are still reading this) People who like to MEET people, who may not always LIKE people, but who have a love of them nonetheless.

Generally I like girls, so if you are a guy this applies to you!!

These apply to Everyone
2) Dont try and add me as your friend if I don't KNOW you.
3) I'm not looking to hang out / meet up/ or date new people
and by "people" i mean Men

ok this isn't entirely true, but please have something better to say then
I think U R Hot.
I mean really, that's about as subtle as driving by a cute girl on the street and hooting and hollering at them.
