Be The Funky Candy That You Know Yourself To Be

About Me

And now on to California which is kinda of funny because if you knew me back in my hippie-daze I was never really that fond of the golden state. But yeah - the ladyfriend is out there so I've removed myself to Berkeley, Califor-ni-a. On the upside, Arnold Schwartzenegger is now my Governor.
Oh, and if you're reading this leave a comment so the gf isn't the only one tagging mah page.
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing. Each time I find myself flat on my face. I pick myself up and get back in the race...
About moiself: I tinker, I dance, I sing, I teach, I cook, I pray, I fix - it's a life of varied employments. How I got this far I'll never know and while I think you have to live for the day with an eye for the morrow, I have no idea where it's all taking me. Only hindsight is 20/20 so for the here n' now I just hope the big band man upstairs has got his finger moving me to where I can be of the best use for my fellow man [insert "or jewish ladies" joke here]. I try to have as much fun as I can and bring as much joy to the world as I can-maybe even both at the same time. Otherwisedly, I'm generally overwhelmed by the amount of media stimulus and input that fly by on a daily basis as I try to take in as much of it as I can.
I'm too cool [Read: Too Old] to bother with making a personal layout for my w1ck3d aw350m3 myspace page.
Have I mentioned that I'm a Lindy Hoppin' Bitch and a recovering jazz musician?

Hellzapoppin'

I don't blog much. It's not my thing to leave my thoughts out there for the world to read at its leisure. Thought of the day from your favorite student of jazz and swing:The dancing in the Hellzapopp...
