I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a compassionate person and like to help others. I like being around positive people who know who they are and who can teach me a thing or two. I am always open to new experiences and love learning new things.I love shopping for old records and going to random shows. I love my friends- I don't have a bunch, but man did I luck out on the ones I have! I love vegan food and especially appreciate that it doesn't have veins or anything that resembles something inside my own body. I can't live without music and love it in all of its forms. Anything that makes me shake it or makes me cry is good. I heart sitting in the ocean and watching the sun set. Cheesy? Maybe, but undeniably wonderful. I like sitting on a surfboard waiting for the right wave- it has been a while but that peace never leaves me. I love going to new places that make me feel excited and uncomfortable at the same time. Maps, schmaps! I love life. I love to laugh. I love love.

I'd like to meet:

Fun peeps who like to laugh.

Music:

Man, this is like choosing your favorite child... It would take me forever to list all the music I like, but a few I can't live without are: Johnny Cash, Arcade Fire, Social Distortion, Wu Tang, TV on the Radio, The Prids, Cat Power, Broken Social Scene, Burning Airlines, Death From Above 1979, You Will Know Us From the Trail of the Dead, Terror, Massive Attack, Jay-Z, Juno, Isis, Jawbox, Notorious B.I.G., 50 cent, Mandalay, oh man, I'm tired. My head hurts. I love too much.

Movies:

Old, poorly dubbed Kung Fu movies, Bollywood flicks, The Big Lebowski, Faster Pussy Cat Kill! Kill!, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Lost in Translation, Dune, random Sci-Fi wonders, Rushmore, Fight Club, Layer Cake...this is sounding a bit contrived...I like weird/violent/heist/foreign movies. Ok, how's that?

Television:

I don't dig on tv that much anymore, but I still got mad love for America's Next Top Model and Golden Girls. Don't talk trash- you know you watch it, too.

Books:

I love sad books because there is always hope in sadness. But really, I love any book that makes me feel something. Some favorites are One Hundred Years of Solitude, White Teeth, Shark Dialogues and Love in the Time of Cholera.

Heroes:

People who live their life for themselves and not to please other people.
