About Me



No matter where I am in the world, I'll always come home to all that's BAY.
ABOUT ME...
A little of everything. "A jack of all trades, a master of none." A sagittarius sun with a scorpio moon. A cosmopolitan and wanderlust drawn to occult and metaphysical subjects. I eat my Cheetos with rice, my spaghetti with ketchup, and I love the taste of dark chocolate. I'm loyal, sometimes to a fault. I sing in the shower, I dance all over the house. Like everything else, I'm constantly changing. I hate/like breaking my own rules. I'm drawn to open-mindedness...but lately I've found I've becomes somewhat of a cynic. I love to laugh, even at myself. I I I I I. I said before that someday soon, I would wake up, quit my job, and make moves towards what I really wanted to do...no matter how senseless it seemed to me or anyone else. I DID JUST THAT! And the minute I decided on it, life took me through the most amazing journey (still on it). It took me to Europe and now, the Philippines. Things didn't turn out the way I thought they would when I first made the decision to break away from the monotony of a life I was not satisfied with, but that's all it took anyway...JUST ONE STEP (to break away from fear), NO MORE, NO LESS, AND THE REST WAS REVEALED TO ME. Anyways, you can't just read about the rain and then expect to know exactly what it feels like. So, just talk to me and stop reading this sh...

My Interests

..
A few of my favorite things... HNCII!!! Music, Dance, metaphysics (the stuff of life), Photography, Practicing and improving my NINJA skills, discovering San Francisco (i've been there more than half my life and there's always something new within this 7x7!), RE-discovering the Universe, Snowboarding, Road Trips (and other forms of travel), RANDOM THINGS, Poetry, Past Lives, Finding humor in everyday life and people, Vampires, the writings of Paulo Coelho, Impressionism: Claude Monet, Van Gogh & M.C. Escher.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who sees this world for the way it REALLY is, and not for the way we imagine it to be... but at the same time doesn't take her/himself too seriously. Someone who's contentment lies beyond the procurement of money and superficial pleasures. Someone who's learned not to fear the idea of tomorrow, and has let go of the fear of being wrong. Someone with a curiosity for the world beyond what's already familiar to her/him, and has the avidity to explore his/her unknowns. Someone who considers her/himself a cosmopolitan. I like meeting people with FLAIR, IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY, TALENT. Someone who knows the true meaning of love. Someone searching for the true meaning of love...and by that I don't just mean romantic love. Someone who can make me laugh. Someone who doesn't have it all figured out, but knows it. EDUCATORS. Paulo Coelho. Woulda been nice to meet Mother Theresa...and Van Gogh too so I coulda asked him to paint my portrait. Oprah. Me. And finally, your mama.

Lately, I've learned...

...that the more people tell me to accept what I deem unacceptable simply because "that's the way it's always been," the more I'm fueled to change it. ...that when a mother "just knows" something abou...

A great mind once said...

Great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, and small minds talk about people.

The God in Me.

There are those who will never understand what I mean when I say, "I am a part of God."  Some will judge, but when i find myself in that situation, I simply explain what I believe and refrai...

Food for thought.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. (FOR THOSE WHO DEBATE BETWEEN FREE WILL AND DESTINY...)   Watch your thoughts; they become...
