Art is the language of God...War is the barking of men.

About Me

"I would love to offer you even something as tiny as a grain of sand. If only I could succeed in doing that, then I might fulfill my longing to share a part of my life with you. Isn't it worth risking one's life to offer something as microscopic as that tiny single grain of sand chosen from amongst countless millions? Take great care at all times. Even the most infinitesimal detail of the slightest gesture you make should be executed with loving care. It's never too late to start." -Kazuo Ohno I love to paint:I love to dance:And sometimes I like to break out the electric razor:

My Interests

Painting, drawing, performance art, dance, yoga, little black dresses, tattoos, politics, circus freaks, fire, butoh, platform shoes, music, film, life, burlesque, cabaret.

I'd like to meet:

Scott Weiland doesn't know it yet, but he's my future husband...David Bowie can be my cabana boy.I love everything from dirty blues, to classical, to "world" music.

Movies:

Television:

I used to call my television "the Babysitter." Now I call it "the little black box of dissapointment."

Books:

I want to read every book ever printed.Some of my faves: PeaceCorps Syndrome (my stepdad's book!) Geek Love. The World According to Garp. The Outsiders (I still have the copy I bought in middle school.) Tropic of Cancer. Art and Fear. On the Road. Pattern Recognition. The Poisonwood Bible. The Colour Purple. I will buy any large sized, horribly expensive coffee table art book that grabs my fancy, even if I have to sell my soul.

Heroes:

My mom. Firemen. Anyone who knows what they want and goes after it.
