I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like motion pictures. Photography is cool, but cinematography is cooler. I like music. Especially when music is married to moving pictures. I like to laugh. I like to cry. I like feeling emotions. Especially when they are caused by motion pictures. I like Minneapolis. I don't like the cold. But I do like the snow. But not shoveling it. I like motion pictures of snow. Then you don't have to be cold.I also like cooking. I bartend to pay the bills, and a secondary creative outlet, my cocktail list is the best it's ever been.
