TIGERS FOR TIGERS - Join me in my quest to support Wild Tiger Conservation.

About Me

GREAT! I married this man, Shinjiro who's perfect for me :) Celebrating with friends is the best way to share in this moment- sorry for the lack of notice for some of ya, but I only invited the closest family and only a handful of friends came. It'll be really relaxed with a NO SUIT AND TIE policy. I'm wearing flip flops!!! woo hooMy sis has generously passed down her dress. I loaded photos from the Work wedding blitz and You'll see some sill stuff- nothing that should be too shocking tho. http://picasaweb.google.com/ecotakakoIncludes the obligatory kiss shot! arg!two week trip to Hawaii was the highlight! Now it's back to reality! Save the Tiger - Save Our Mascot Video

My Interests

"A truley heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths" - Daisaku Ikeda

I am ultimately interested in fund-raising and helping DIRECTLY with Wild Tiger Conservation. Supporting groups that are actively doing on-the-ground research like the Wildlife Conservation Society WCS , the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Rhino and Tiger fund, which gives a million $$$ a year to countries with these endangered animals...and the group I helped found, Tigers for Tigers! (they are working on improving the website right now...give them some time)The Tiger Trust is the group that is putting our tour together & will be talking and learning more from them about what the needs are TIGER TRUST .."http://www.tigertrustindia.com/ " Thank you for Visiting! Come back soon!

I'd like to meet:


Inspired people- people who aren't afraid to inspire others. Keep chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo! The lack of hope is caused by the lack of action to change your life and to help others along the way too. It's the feeling that someone else is responsible...don't dis-empower yourself like that.There are plenty of things you can do on your own, so get involved where you shine the brightest! Here's a link for learning about the Earth Charter! http://www.earthcharter.org/Nothing's going to change unless you change it.

Music:

I love every kind of music- especially if it's live! Brazillian Music teaches me how to "falo portugais" I wanna learn Portugese! Daniela Mercury, Canto do Mata, Alternative: They Might Be Giants, Donna the Buffalo, Sarah McLachlan, Enya, John Mayer Rock:Green Day's American Idiot, Rage Against the Machine, The Cure Folk/Bluegrass: Railroad Earth, Jack Johnson (check out his awesome video online jackjohnsonmusic.com "In between dreams album", on a song called "sitting waiting wishing". pure genious!), The Duhks, Reeltime Travelers, Classical: Mendel,Beethoven,Anonymous 4, Rap: Tribe Called Quest, Fugees, Wyclef, "We keep it funky" Tanks2Franti.You give the peace movement a soundtrack to bounce to! Japanese keeps it true to my roots: Dragon Ash, The Boom, Mikidouzan General Favs: Tracey Peirgross , Heart, Paul Simon, Jewel, India Arie, Dave Matthews, Elton John, Zap Mama

Movies:

TIGERS for TIGERS! Look into my Clemson World! Ringo.com has me on there too just look up my name for the updated pictures. .. There's No GOOD NUKES!

Television:

I DON'T Like Television. It doesn't get into the CENTER of the main living space. I don't like seeing the f'in glow of the TV from other people's houses at night. I am a REAL couch junkie if I let myself watch TV tho, cause I'm too weak to look away and too weak to turn it off...which is really why I don't like it! but I have a FRIEND on TV now, Shelton Benjamin! We're all proud that he's grow'd up so gewd! Who knew?!?!?
