To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

About Me

I'm currently in a transitional place. Started a new job and looking for another band. If you like indie, rock, or folk rock music and happen to play guitar and are looking for a singer, or if you just wanna hang out and write music, let me know.
I like the colors green and blue mixed together...I like riding my bike listening to Cat Stevens sing about peace and love to me in my headphones...I call everyone "dude". Don't know why. Just have for the longest time... I am a study in contradiction. I vassilate between being cynical and idealistic...Not really a "by the book" person-unless I'm at work...I love having conversations about spirituality/the afterlife/metaphysics...I have a difficult time showing the true me to people I don't know...My heart is in San Diego...I am insightful but not eloquent...I don't like people who yell...Not trying to change the world; just trying to change my world...
Disclaimer: I am not here to hook up. If that's what you're looking for, please allow me to show you to your sock drawer.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." ~Chief Seattle, 1855

Your Life Path Number is 11
Your purpose in life is to inspire others

Your amazing energy draws people to you, and you give them great insight in return.
You hold a great amount of power over others, without even trying.
You have the makings of an inventor, artist, religious leader, or prophet.

In love, you are sensitive and passionate. You connect with your partner on a very deep level.

You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself.
You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them.
You have high expectations of yourself. But sometimes you set them too high and don't achieve anything. What Is Your Life Path Number?

Music:

I like just about everything: ella fitzgerald, norah jones, harry connick jr, elton john, beatles, stp, velvet revolver, creed, coldplay, crossfade, evanescence, bonnie rait, foo fighters, pink floyd, chevelle, seether, sarah mclachlan, crash test dummies, fiona apple, 80's hair bands(esp. bon jovi), breaking benjamin, alanis, pat benatar, ani difranco, the white stripes, sinatra, enya, big band, sarah brightman, david gray, dave mathews, cranberries, trans-siberian orchestra, natalie merchant (and 10,000 maniacs), lisa loeb, cat stevens, collective soul, edie brickell, tracy nelson, paula cole, emmylou harris, indigo girls, jethro tull, suzanne vega, joan osborne, wilco, frente, cher, lacuna coil, nina simone, meredith brooks, blondie, oasis,otis redding, patty griffin, wild strawberries, tara maclean, jewel, clapton, weezer, tchaikovsky, stones, janis joplin, etta james, dolly parton, muddy waters, fleetwood mac, squirrel nut zippers, dylan, disturbed...there are so many more. Right now playing in my car: sarah mclachlan, crash test dummies, breaking benjamin, a lillith faire CD, cat stevens (I want to live in a wigwam!), and a burned CD with songs my band is learning. I really dig folk/indie stuff and if a chick sings it, I am probably going to like it. Wichita has a bunch of kickass local bands! I try to get out and support them (I will do better this year, I promise.) Nothing's better than live music and a cold frosty dark beer!

Movies:

Anything with Christopher Walken-(marsupials....cause they're fast!), What the Bleep Do We Know, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Finding Nemo, A Fish Called Wanda, Shine, What Dreams May Come, I Heart Huckabees, Anything by Woody Allen...

Television:

LOST

Books:

As a Man Thinketh-James Allen (excellent for those of us who would like to change things), The Five Things We Cannot Change-David Richo, Autobiography of a Yogi-Paramahansa Yogananda, In My Own Words-Mother Teresa, Nickel and Dimed-Barbara Ehrenreich, Rich Dad Poor Dad-Robert Kiyosaki...just a few works that changed my life. Currently reading Chronicles: Volume I by Bob Dylan and The Quantum Doctor by Amit Goswami.

Heroes:


People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
--Mother Teresa
You Are a Visionary Soul
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness.
Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul.
You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable.
Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.
You have great vision and can be very insightful.
In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself.
Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend.
You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.
Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
