About Me

Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.

Milan Kundera
Life is a process of becoming a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is when they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Anais Nin

You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Franz Kafka

In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.
Thich Nhat Han

My Interests

watercolors and charcoal, climbing, CREW TEAM, dancing, reading, writing, dinner with friends, hiking, scuba diving, being near the water, live music, Carl from Aqua Teen impressions, driving with the top down, good sex, laughing really hard, steak and mashed potatoes... generally anything that involves slight danger, utter elation or a passionate mind i am into it. I'm trying to write two books. A dirty on and a graphic novel. We shall see.

my loves

Movies:

I refuse to answer this question. But I will offer a quote/mantra from one of my favorites.

D: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, the love, I owned it; even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.

C: But she thought you were pathetic.

D: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you.

Television:

I watch the news. And I watch fake news.check out these big roof tops. I shot there and apparently, my friend Tim is using it for the dance ads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gsvA26kefc&eurl=

Books:
