I am here for Friends

About Me

i love my thirties. music is my refuge. one of my all-time favorite songs is the red house painters cover of "all mixed up" ... so sad and melancholic, yet strangely hopeful and beautiful. i'm listening to neil young a lot these days. the last good show i went to see was the boss. five years ago i wouldn't have even considered this. i've become wiser in my old age. the last good film i watched was american ganster. the last good book i read was "eat pray love." i love to travel and have visited over 30 countries. i just returned from the sacred motherland, the philippines. my next trip is to another hot, sacred place: mexico. i love to cook and am pretty damn good at it. my favorite drink is jameson and soda. in fact, they should pay me for promoting it so much.
