About Me

Music is the only thing that matters anymore. "If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you will find nothing on your return." On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best. Depending on where you're standing and how much breath is in your chest. If it came down to it would you high tail it home and hide? Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride? At the heart of it all that innermost, your fiery core there's an amassing armor and it's building you into a bore. Life's a match in a gas tank, don't ever mourn the ebbing tide just dance on fire and enjoy the ride! BE FREE.

My Interests

i could not live without rhythm, a beat, and dancing to my own song. Music is my biggest passion and my release. Love. living life because i like feeling alive. Laughing so hard it hurts. family and friends. dancing whenever, wherever. random adventures. nudity and feeling free. concerts. being insightful and taking advantage of introspective moments. mountains and the country. art. chocolate soy milk. the rain, and of course the puddles and rainboots. camping and fishing. sunsets, stars, and ethereal thoughts and melodies. driving with my hands out the window and feet on the dash. traveling to faraway places, even if they're only in my imagination. green and blue. arizona and tennessee. the ocean, lakes, and rivers. bare feet. most of all, i love trees and the sound of wind rustling their leaves as it blows through my hair while the sun kisses my shoulders and cheeks. bonnaroo camp site

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet that person who will ask me to uproot my life here and move to Morocco with them for a year or two to take a look around and see what we like. I personally would like to have a glass of wine with Joni Mitchell, share a smoke with Chan Marshall, and shoot the breeze with Grace Potter. I would also like to meet a mermaid, a centaur, an elf, a fairy, a sprite, a wizard, a dragon, a unicorn....
