About Me

I love to live life with an eye to decadence. Life's too short to not live everyday. The future and the past are just that, not the present. I need to stop and look around.I'm into a lot of different things. I'm on a path to become a healer, energy and through massage.I help the boston techno troupe Circle. These kitties have blown me away for years and years with their ability to throw down, and get the vast support from the amazing community that is always ready to throw down. Video and musical decadence at our fingertips.I find myself at majick and fire festivals all summer, being with an amazing community of people... and a crazy group at that. acrobats, fire dancers and breathers, artists, crazy good musicians and drummers, obscenely good i would add.... people that make pain go away with a look or a wave of the hand, people that can get 500 people chanting the same thing. Powerful and creative people surround me. And I am in awe of most of them.I love cooking. Obsess on it, really. I get so excited when I'm done making a dish and there is all that anticipation just before eating it. I practically skip around my house in excitment.I've just started taking pictures again, thank god. I forgot how much i missed it. It feels fanstastic to go through the world looking at textures and patterns again. It opens me up to what's happening now, in the immediate moment. It makes me look directly at the world around me as I see it.No bullshit. I don't deal with fighting in relationships, i don't like fake people. I don't have time for smoke and mirrors.I feel blessed to be living the life that I lead. Old and young don't really mean anything to me as there are people that never age.My community is amazing. My life is amazing, and I want to thank all my friends for that.Here's some of my art:

My Interests

cooking, massage, reading piles of books, dancing, music, living a large life, taking photos, chillin', spinning electro and jungle and worldtronica stuff. Lots of middle eastern and asian stuff. camping in the woods, making food for groups of 40 or more, the pleasure of feeding people. people have such an appreciation for the gift of nourishing their being and fulfilling a fundamental need. Besides, cooking is meditative. i also clean up. often you'll find me at a party, picking up bottles and various detritus, in an effort to make the final clean-up by the hosts that much easier... I've cleaned up a lot of parties, wishing someonee had taken a few minutes to do just that. it's like playing fairy god cleaner.

I'd like to meet:

meh. i meet who i meet, and that's that. i don't suffer from hero worship, nor do i feel like asking anything of anyone i admire...except maybe just to tell them that.
