Favorite quote of late: Don't be content to merely survive. You must demand to live in a better world, not just dream about it.

TRAVEL: I'll be in Boston near the beginning of April, 2007, so I'm looking to meet new people up there to show me around during my 5-day stay. Let's grab a drink and talk about life!

I sit at home, night after night, feeling something, wanting something, knowing that somewhere there is that something that I long for but cannot yet grasp, cannot yet compose in my head: something without a face, something without a specific form, something with no construct or identity.
When dissonantly muted, jazz-like underground beats echo off the confining walls of my dimly lit studio apartment, they enter me, through each and every pore in my body they enter me, like an airborne virus determined to dizzy its prey, leaving its newly discovered host lost and searching for an outlet through which to express some new vision: a place brought to the imagination by said music; a place that stirs up feelings of loneliness, mystery and turmoil; a place that, somehow, instills a certain comfort to the mind.
This location, although within the realm of the mind, is intangible and inexpressible, at least for now. Unlike any normal place, this one doesn’t go anywhere. It has no set boundaries or limitations, yet you cannot get to it from where you are, nor can you get back to where you are from it. A description of the confines of, and feelings felt from this place seem possible, but through which medium? How can these visions be put down on a tear of canvas, in a series of photographs, or through a string of words?
Until I find what it is I’m looking for, I am forced through the power of music and unexplainable feelings and moods, to search for the end-all-be-all of my existence. I will not be able to rest until this ‘place’ has exposed itself, and has gotten a hold of me.
If that evokes any feelings in you, I'd love to talk. If you can decypher it and tell me what the underlying meaning is I'd like you to let me know, because I really don't know. :)
I don't feel yet that I've lived my life to it's fullest, but I intend to start doing that now that I've left corporate and started my own business.
I'm a night owl. Unfortunately my clients are not, therefore I force myself to get to bed at somewhat reasonable hours. I get most of my creative thoughts seconds after waking up. I do enjoy sunny days, however I'm more in tune with myself on gloomy, foggy, rainy days; unfortunately down here in FL, it doesn't rain all day, but intermittently. Perhaps I'm best suited for Seattle.
I like to write, and read. I love jazz clubs, although I haven't been to a good one in a while. I love to cook when I'm cooking with or for someone. I hate bars where you can't hear yourself think! Strip clubs do nothing for me at all: paying naked women to make you think that they're into you - give me a break! Hate potholes, slow drivers, slow walkers. Love early mornings, although I hardly ever see them. I am very outgoing at times, and very quiet at others. I prefer a gathering of friends at someone's house more than going out to bars. I hate cover charges when there's nothing going on inside. I French press my coffee. I'm always looking to meet new people, go new places, and experience new things. I enjoy a good bottle of Chianti or Cab with extra sharp cheddar & Breton crackers.
