About Me

I'm often dreaming of travel but still trying to stay put so that I don't jump out of my skin, reminding myself to breathe and always enjoying the time with friends. I also don't want to grow up too fast, children have a lot to teach us. We seem to forget that. Ummm that's all for now

My Interests

Hanging out in cemetaries with good friends, hanging out in wooden interior Irish pubs with Irish music and the Yankees game in the background, slalom skiing on a scooter, hearing live music at Toad's in New Haven or anywhere, watching people rise from the ashes like phoenix's river and finding what it is inside ourselves that moves us or helps us breath, watching Japanese horror films, wasting time with fantasy baseball, and in between it all writing

I'd like to meet:

Jeff Magnum and Ho Chi Minh, Bob Ross and Wong Faye, the guy I keep seeing in my dream and whose name I keep forgetting. I'd like to party with all those people too, or hang out and paint hungover trees.

Music:

right now I'm listening to Brother Ali, Neutral Milk Hotel, Nirvana and Pearl Jam, South Asian trance or dance beats, Faith Yang, the Pogues, Orishas, Control Machete, Govinda, the Roots
