About Me

'Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite.' Yup I'm a dreamer, more specifically a dancer and choreographer living in NY trying to reason my passions with some effort of success. All my life a writer, more currently a designer (Wildchild Nation!), though dance is definitely the love and focus right now (one thing at a time). Bear with me as I slowly put this page together. For credits, info, & more dance clips, etc you can go to www.luam.net . For now, I'll stay somewhat of a mystery...'And since you are a breath In God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.' - Khalil Gibran

www.luam.net

is where you need to go right now... Oh, and please (pretty) READ MY BLOG. It's crazy on a stick. Guaranteed.
A New Credo (if you will): "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes - the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things."
---------------------------------------------- Beautiful Dancer If a dancer and danced and no one saw,
did she really ever dance at all?
As turns collide to make her tears,
Does movement die between dea'f ears'?
Even if they stand to watch
Even as they wipe their sleeve
She does not care to ever stop
She knows not when they turn to leave.
While opinions matter and fall behind
When the room is empty and had its fill
When all the world is deaf and blind
She loves the dance and dances still.
