In the end, all that matters is what you've done, not what you are going to do.

About Me

I'm moody, sensitive and loyal. I am easily hurt. I forgive easily but don't forget, I am passionate about those I love and fairly indifferent about those I don't. I like my life to be a balance of work and play and can honestly say I enjoy both equally.

My Interests

Travel, culture, music, reading, nature (yes, I have my super hippie side)painting, art, architecture, interior design, history, cooking, cooking, cooking landscaping/gardening, books, dinner parties, wine, olives and olive oils, truffles (not the chocolates), orchids, bullriding, fashion, creative advertising, experiencing life, etc.

I'd like to meet:

People that challenge themselves and me to be more and do more. People with whom I can watch a meteor shower, build a snow fort, solve the mind body problem, dance with glee, yodel, make pancakes, play croquet, build a perfect fire, try cuisines from all over the world, grow the largest pumpkin, bask in the glow of each others praise, improve our doodles and write our own chase scenes.

Music:

Yes, all the time, Morningwood, The Films, She Wants Revenge, Arcade Fire, Kinky, Lamb, Zero 7, Gotan Project, Groove Armada, Pulp, Blur, The Faint, Sting, Robbie Robertson, Razorlight, Strikeboys, Kasabian, BRMC, Dire Straights, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires, Paul Simon, Jet, Verve Remixed, Acid Jazz, also I'm a big fan of the Cafe del Mar's and the Buddha Bar's. Manu Chao along with Pink Martini have been played a lot the past couple of years. Mash-ups are fun. Jazz and classical bring out my creative side. Live jazz almost seems to be a thing of the past since moving to LA from San Fran.
