About Me

READ www.theuniverseisbig.com, for the Golden Moments of my trip to India and beyond!So it all started 28 years ago in St. Paul, MN. It was a sunny August afternoon in '79. I grew up in the suburbs yet close enough to the middle of nowhere to have alot of fun hitting dirt jumps on bikes on the way to the nearest Pump n' Munch for candy cigs and crappy horror movies. It was an exciting childhood. We had a bus driver named Peggy that wore sunglasses that were missing a side arm. It consumed us for about 2 years and then she turned us in to the principal of the Elementary school for looking at PORN in the back of the bus. Turns out is was Vogue, same difference. The following 6 years were spent scantily clad, flying through the air in positions one could only imagine. Otherwise known as being a gymnast. JTWbadass was there, he brought his friends, it hasn't been the same since. This one time, I went to Dance camp...yeah, really. After that I spent 3 years trying to get out of River Falls, WI. In the process I drank about 1,395 beer bong's worth of Busch Light. Sad, but true. From UWRF(Ugly Women Roam Free) I ended up in Aurora, CO, white girl count=10, including me. Colorado was cool, well mostly Breckenridge was cool with 5 days of hell between each trip. And then the real debauchery occurred at the Appaloosa Grill... Pitchers+Bowling+naked dance parties=GOOD TIMES. Somewhere amidst the booze fog I decided that I needed to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Diego. SO I got the in BDC with Smokey Joe and Josie and drove across the desert without air conditioning to move in with 2 people that I didn't know to have some of the best dance parties ever danced with the best dancers to have ever danced.( A moment of silence please...thank you.) School has been cool, with Caity and I how could it not, it's just our nature. My sister wised up and realized, why live in MN when I could live in SD? And then I met Tau...which has brought me to a little place called San Francisco to continue learning, growing and living the dream. Becca made SF open up for me and I have showed her that it is ok to be yin. All in all, experiences 1-16,987 + Love + Laughter = Me being a very happy camper, and it only gets better from here, Right kids?
