About Me

Well, well,I just dont know anymore. I just got back from 5 months in south america....trying to make the classic transition back to the states. Perhaps my friends know a thing or two about me, but to be honest, i´m not too sure about it myself. I guess its kinda like a river...(just humor me, and follow the metaphor)...At one moment your looking at the water flow by and sure its nice, whatever, its a river. But the water is continually moving on, and new water is replacing that which has left. So at any one moment your looking at an entirely different river. (ya following me) So its kinda the same way with me. It depends on the moment, the place, the mood. I'm always changing, or at least i have multiple aspects that take their turn. You could say i´m flowing, like the river in my pathetic metaphor. ¿Comprende?

I love the 50's classics. Lotus is a funktastic band. I have a ton of hindi music thats pretty funky. Every last drop of classic rock, yes emily- including Journey.

Movies:

The Hunted...The Edge...Anchorman because it reminds me of my buddy Justin...The last trapper...a whole bunch of others too.

Television:

I´ve gotten hooked on the fútbol games down here.

Books:

Honestly, im a dork....I read way way too much, i say that its too much, because hell, books are wicked expensive. --Herman Hesse, any book of his, not just Siddhartha, try "Narcissus and Goldmund". --Tom Brown Jr. try "The tracker", or "The Quest" --Rainer Marie Rilke "Letters to a young Poet" --Etty Hillesum, "An Interrupted Life" --Reggie Ray, "Indestructible Truth" --Any Hafiz, or Rumi...i know sufi poetry sounds trendy, but try it... --Gita Meta Try "Snakes and Ladders" or "Karma Cola" --millions more books...

Heroes:

I love the revolutionaries....My Tibetan language teacher Gen-La is my first true hero. Pumas and bears. Little children.

Communication Breakdown

To write about an experience is to squeeze it into small boxers of concepts and thoughts, thus losing all the juicy nuance. David Abrahm was correct in his analysis of language; It is a distant...
