PURA VIDA

About Me

It is our brush with the wild nature that drives us not to limit our conversations to humans, not to limit our most splendid movements to dance floors, nor our ears only to music made by human-made instruments, nor our eyes to "taught" beauty, nor our bodies to approved sensations, nor our minds to those things we all agree upon already. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

My Interests

people, places, things, intangibles

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who isn't afraid to communicate, go out on a limb, go off on a tangent, go deep, try something new, find fun in the little things or make the big things happen! Also, bluntness tempered with compassion is very refreshing. Just good people... you know who you are!

Music:

everything... house, reggae, reggaeton (especially on a costa rican dancefloor), native tongues hip hop (and select gangsta), alternative, classic rock, bluegrass, d&b, downtempo, indian, portuguese, breakbeats, dirty groovy adrenaline-lending beats, anything that makes me move or helps get me through LA traffic... THANK GOD FOR MUSIC. and also all my friends, family and local musicians... i'm blessed to know some amazing ones.

Television:

i'm not immune to at least one show sucking me in, but i try

Books:

EAT PRAY LOVE (very me) Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand (thanks Dad) The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle (thanks Chels) Many Lives Many Masters - Brian Weiss (thanks Orly) Home Is Where the Boat Is (maybe someday)
