This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

About Me


"Dance to the point of exhaustion, as if you were a mountaineer climbing a hill, a sacred mountain. Dance until you are so out of breath that your organism is forced to obtain oxygen some other way, and it is that, in the end, that will cause you to lose your identity and your relationship with space and time. Dance only to the sound of percussion; repeat the process every day; know that, at a certain moment, your eyes will, quite naturally, close, and you will begin to see a light that comes from within, a light that answers your questions and develops your hidden powers"...Paulo Coelho
"im not in this world to live up to your expectations and your not in this world to live up to mine.”…Bruce Lee
"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar."...Thich Nhat Hahn
A GREAT BIG LIST OF "I"
I was named after a new star, not the car
I lived in Burlington, Vermont for two years & miss it
I grew up in Southern California & miss it more
I can listen to the same song over and over and over again
I am wary of people who believe in unconditional love
I am also wary of people who believe in unconditional faith
I once met Thich Knat Hahn, and I believe what he says
I need to swim in the ocean at least once a year
I hate washing dishes
I love the smell of coconuts
I like eating peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches
I laugh at people when they fall down
I am allergic to poppy seeds, so I guess heroin is out
I've flown 75 feet in the air...not on purpose
I wear flip-flops almost every day
I watched my dad die, and held his hand
I don't mistake complacency for happiness
I don’t take happiness for granted
I know "patience" is derived from "patior", meaning "to suffer"
I love the color red
I can't stand wearing socks
I need coffee in the morning or my day is ruined
I can be extremely stubborn
I dance every day, no matter what
I am scared of doing things wrong and realizing too late
I used to be able to bend spoons with my mind
I want to learn upholstery
I’ve seen a ghost
I bite my nails
I'm a magnet for "public penis" incidents
I am fascinated by evolutionary theory
I slept in a bed with Smurf sheets until I was in 6th grade
I live incongruously, but working on fixing this
I have really bad eyesight
I love the feeling of heavy blankets: even when its hot
I would rather lose the game, than be the one played
I believe you can't mask bad actions; even if they're preceded by good intentions
