About Me

My life is in transition....it has been for years now i guess. I'm trying to find what i'm meant to do and where i'm meant to be and who i'm meant to be with. I keep trying new things hoping to learn more about myself and about life. I think that I will always be curious and always want to learn more...i hope that i can find someone that shares that curiosity and passion.

My Interests

All forms of Art - drawing, painting, and photography in particular. Art that brings your senses to life. Learning - through school, books, experiences, traveling, and from my students. BIKRAM YOGA!! Triathlons, jogging, biking.....Anything outdoors - beach, camping, kayaking, overnight canoe trips.

I'd like to meet:

current and long lost friends

Music:

I love almost all music, music that says something worthwhile, either vocal or instrumental. A few favorites: Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Tori Amos, Norah Jones, Kaki King, Nina Simone, Miles Davis, classic reggae, Sublime, G. Love & special sauce, Outkast, Tosca, Thievery Corporation, Black Coffee, Soul Coughing; SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF MY DAD - Janis Joplin (Me and Bobby MacGee), The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Eagles.

Movies:

Honestly, movies are like sleeping pills for me, no matter how good they are.

Television:

I don't really watch it

Books:

I mostly read non-fiction. I feel that if I have time to read, I should be learning from it. My most recent book read is An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore....very scary. I also read a lot of art books...a really good one Vitamin D, a book of Drawings...incredible talent. Art and Intimacy by Dissanayake, Art as Experience by Dewey, After the End of Art by Danto, Air Guitar by Dave Hickey, I could go on and on.....then classics of course, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marques, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, The electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace by Pirsig.....what else? i'll update as I think of them

Heroes:

My parents, my brother and my friends who get me through everything. I look up to them for guidance, strength, and perspective.
