About Me

I am from the ghetto ass city of Seatac (ahhh home sweet home) and yes there are people who live there right alongside the airport (yes I had a plane go over my house every minute and thirty seconds). I now live in San Francisco California and I work for an international human rights organization. I cannot stand our current administration and I am ashamed of what they have done around the world. The human rights violations are appalling and it will go down in history. I am Tlingit (Alaskan fishing tribe) and so my perspective of the U.S. government is quite a bit different than the norm. I find most people would rather not hear about the Native American struggle not only to survive the long history of strategic, intentional mass genocide, but the current fight to "exist". I love, love, love the forest and miss the Washington rainforests! I love to hike and i like to be near the ocean. New and different music makes me happy. I like being near people who have a good sense of humor and can laugh at life and themselves. Honesty is KEY if you want to be friends with me. I believe peace is possible and it is something for us all to strive towards. I like to find old things that have a story or slice of life that can be seen as a piece of our past. I love to write, paint and cook new and different things. I enjoy finding the new and interesting things in life. The moon makes me happy or crazy, either way always feel a little riled up when its out. I am a cocktail enthusiast and I greatly enjoy anyone who takes the time and effort to invent something new, different and daring.
