The "myth" of Atlantis, Mesoamerica, Scooters, motorcycles, surfboards, skateboards, music, formula one racing. grilling, barbequing, smoked foods, creating new recipes, cooking, taking snapshots, walking aimlessly in the streets to start conversations with people and getting their "story". you can learn a lot about life and youself this way.
are you happy? my moods vary like everyone else. i tend to put up the bad ones here at myspace and that's just a snapshot of the moment. my close friends know the real me and i'm not always down -hardly at all. optimistic? positive? the bright side? that's where it's all at.
