About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

well, i am originally from texas (although not so proud thanks to our incredibly demented president)and have been in the atl five years. i am what i call culturally jewish, that is, i dig the culture but dont really jive with the whole god thing. so, i would really call myself agnostic. i love to write, its how i deal with the daily shit life throws at you. i try to live my life to the fullest and never let a moment pass me by without notice. i love to travel and be spontaneous. to much routine kills my soul. nothing is ever easy for me. i usually find myself taking the path less travelled and therefore having to find my own way. this makes me stronger or so i am told. i am also a vegetarian and enviromentalist, which means no meat, no leather, and no products that test on animals. i try to find meaning even in the darkest places which sometimes leads me down moonless paths, but its the adventure that matters, not necessarily the end result. i am very close to my family and friends wihtout them i would be no one. once you are in my heart it is forever. i think the following quote from O.A.R. says it best, 'ill give my heart, ill give you my soul, you can have me money, and if you want you can have control. all i ask from you is love, a little bit of faith, trust, honesty, goes a long long way.' im always down for party, the adventure, or the path that takes me away...

My Interests

Reading, listening to music, swimming, and chilling. i loveto party with my peeps, but i long to spend the evening curled up on the couch drinking wine and watching a movie.

I'd like to meet:

Cool, chill people. Specifically, someone who can say those two simple words that have the power to end war- "I'm sorry". Believe me, I certainly make mistakes, so they must also be a person of second chances and willing to accept my appology when it is sincerely given from the heart. someone who lives for the moment, but is responsible enough to know that the moment calls for structure.

Music:

Classic rock, rock, punk, industrial, reggae...THEY MICHT BE GIANTS!!! Pink Floyd, Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Bad Religion, Slightly Stoopid, 311, O.A.R., Sisters of Mercy, NOFX, Bob Marley, Type O Negative, Lords of Acid, Tupac, G Love and Special Sauce, PEDRO THE LION, Van Morrison, Rage Against The Machine, Rancid, Skinny Puppy, Dark Star Orchestra, Vortex Park, Keller Williams, Chris Thile, Ratdog, Moe, Shawn Mullins, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Dead Can Dance, My friends Patrick and Keegan (Kokomo Hum, check them out on Myspace)... Anyone who sings/plays from their heart and soul. NO FLUFF!!!

Movies:

Crash, V for Vendeta, 1984, Fehrenheit 451, Catch 22, Forest Gump, Philidelphia, M.A.S.H.

Television:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, if I have to watch it better be MASH, Star Trek-TNG, early West Wing, Adult Swim, The Daily Show, or The Colbert Report.

Books:

Lord of the Rings, Citizen of the Galaxy, The Raft, The Once and Future King, Code of the Streets, The Butter Battle Book. Anything Sci-Fi, Social Narrative, non-fluff. The Wise Man, The Time Machine.

Heroes:

Those who speak with honesty and are willing to fight for the cause. My father, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Samuel Shappiro, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Jane Adams, the student who stood up to the tanks in china all those years ago, Rosa Parks, Anyone who I call a friend. and of course, My Self.
