Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there..."-Rumi

About Me

a company keeper, frequency holder, and a short, humorous, hopeful ever-changing chapter on the dancin' side of the decks -or a long, capricious, sordid tale just this sane side of the looking glass (replete with all the characters from the rabbit hole)...depending on your view or my day...

My Interests

People, places, and things that surround us to smell good, feel good, taste delectable, be functional and have heart!

I'd like to meet:

tethered souls-Writers, riders and raconteurs...Those with deep musical history and vast appreciation in all forms-those who grasp what the graffiti artist is to the city streets and what the DJ brings to the floor is as essential to our celebration as, good love, clean air, clear head spaces, open hearts and hungry minds.Interesting-yeah that'd be cool; and creative, funny, and love delicious food how could one not....Can you laugh with me laughing at myself, it happens often.

Music:

from the deepest, dankest, funkiest disco house to Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers, Marvin Gaye, Sylvester, Aretha Franklin, Felix Dickinson, Cynic Records, Larry Heard, BlackJoy, Kerri Chandler, Rong Music, The Clash, the Misfits, The English Beat, Squeeze, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Dinah Washington and back again to the best DJ's the planet has to offer to... '70's Classic rock, '80 punk; X, Bad Brains, Los Olvidados, the Adolescents, D.I. and more-music so good and stretchy you can chew on it

Movies:

The Player, LA Confidential, Big Fish, The Anniversary Party, King of New York, Dazed and Confused, 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama

Television:

I don't have TV-hardly a political stance, just not home enough to watch, but...Cash Cab and Jeopardy-love all that useless information! Unwrapped and Anthony Bordain's 'No Reservations'. Pop-up video over the Fall/Spring fashion shows...so I can still listen to my music

Books:

Dry, lovemarks, The Little Prince, Beautiful Losers, Freedom in Exile, Post Secret (what's yours?)...

Heroes:

Friends like family, Family like Friends, bright, fresh new perspectives and the writers at breakdownexpress...

Harvey threw down his special Sarcastic with the help of Junior and Paul T. last Saturday night...The night was great, punctuated by those amazing, peak moments like when Harvey played Felix Dickinson...

between courses

Like a cold, crisp champgne sorbet before my entree, I'm ready to clean the palate and clear the house. Forthcoming adventures refuse to be muddled w/past baggage and sorrowful regret.It's been full b...

my heart in my mouth-

It's truly mind-boggling. Shit seems to fall into place. As if tetris naturally occurs in life. I am excited and tired-does that translate into delirious? Hopefully not, as that sounds more careless t...
