About Me

Well lets see. I've become a bit of a nomad a "gypsy soul" if you will (sorry if that's not politically correct). Recently, I decided that I wanted to dedicate a few years of my life to serving my country, no not by donning fatigues and a weapon but by working in real American communities in proactive ways. Sounds all high horsey but definitely not intended to be. Think I just needed to control my own environment; was so sick of what was going on in the world around me, the things I couldn't control. Anyhow I've been around the great state of PA. I participated in an Americorps project in Pittsburgh and spent the last seven months working on a small orgasmic... I mean organic farm near Philly. Other than that my passions include music and music and more. I love listening to it and of course playing. I've been playing guitar for bout 13 years now. Holy cow! I try to learn something new any chance I get whether it be music related or some other body of knowledge. The end.

My Interests

guitar, reading, pilates,writing songs, tennis or "t-ball" as I affectionately term it,sleeping, music,anything that breaks a good sweat, eating wholesome locally grown organic food, issues of the social nature, culture- most culture, spirituality. looking for a new passion(anything but snowboarding) so give me some suggestions.

I'd like to meet:

Uh.. Tommy Hilfiger... I just love those designer jeans... I don't freaking know!!! The mother of my children! geese! I dont know. I could go on and on about who I'd like to meet. Anyone whose doin good work I guess, keepin the faith, livin the dream, the American one that is (just jokin). I guess as long as they're living the dream. Could be the Jamaican dream, the German dream, whatever.

Television:

Since I haven't worked up the nerve to take a baseball bat to my TV as of yet, television still plays a measurable role in my life. Um, I like a good sporting event preferably of local interest- PHILLY SPORTS baby!, Hot Pursuits is cool, Cops is cool, Three Stooges whenever I can find it, public television, CNN, Whose Line Is It Anyway, used to like Boy Meets World then I got way to old to be watching it.
