I am here for Friends

About Me

i like meeting new people. asking them why they do things. voyeurism is not limited to the flesh. late at night, reading other people's blogs, listening to their music, there's something beautiful AND scary about humanity.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

someone who can help me find and write a perfect grant. people who take on projects because they love the process of creating something amazing.

Music:

some things in my ipod right now: air, the arcade fire, clinic, dan bern, elton john, harry nilsson, jeff buckley (but only the cohen cover), the rolling stones, talking heads, and friends' mixes.

Movies:

good ones.

Books:

my favorite poem is by richard brautigan. how-to's. travel guides.

Heroes:

anyone who is capable of something i am not: grace, painting a picture with words, knowing what you have passion for and going after it with your very soul.

sunny days [like this]

you know when you learn something new, maybe a word or an idea, and then you start seeing or reading about it everywhere. it was always there, but you are now aware of it and therefore notice it. th...
