About Me

My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!

I am a triple Leo, 36 years old, I live in Sacramento, CA, and I perform music and theater as much as possible. I teach music, write music, and listen to music. I love my family and my friends, and making new friends while spending my time doing things I like to do. I guess you could say I'm a hedonist, and so is my sweetie, Shawn.

Now, hedonism is not a bad thing, as some might think. It is a belief that the pursuit of one's personal pleasures is the path to the highest good. This does not mean that one has to try EVERYTHING, and it does not mean pursuing your pleasures while totally disregarding the well-being of others. What goes around comes around.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ani, Madge, Dennis K, friends for dinner and good conversation.

Love is a Funny Thing

Sometimes love is funny "ha-ha," but mostly it's "can't put my finger on it" style. I have been known to go through phases of numbness because, being inclined to care too much about others, I shut do...

Fear

We all know what it feels like to be afraid. For most of us, however, fear is fleeting. It hits us quickly, then subsides. That twisting of our guts, that somersaulting of our stomac...
