About Me

Big Picture: I am: about to hit 15 months since going vegan, all settled in for about 6 months in a cool new place, trying my hand at gardening with soon to be delicious results, figuring out what to do next, in a state of perpetual amazement and wonder at the fact that _life is_, re-learning that just when I think I have existence figured out I will be tested to my limits and pushed beyond them by the taffy puller that continually strengthens my soul, re-/de-constructing my ideas for how relationships take shape, re-learning how to say what I mean and mean what I say (I don't want to stop learning this one), and last but not least, working on how to balance existing known roles with newly evolving roles.Details: 30 y.o. versatile male student of life, soon to be social worker, Reiki practitioner, sometimes writer, full time zine afficionado and occasional zine creator, DIY crafter/creator, Rollerderby volunteer statistician, avid reader, mixtape maker (yes, sometimes still on _tape_), jack of almost all trades-master of a few and working on more

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who know how to enjoy the moment without always grasping for the next thing. People who know the possible sting of honesty now is better than the probable eruption of honesty put off 'til later. People who aren't easily led, who know there is more to life than looking like a mall ad, and who aren't afraid to dance even when completely sober (or not quite sober). And you.

Housewarming Success

Hi All, My housewarming BarBeQue was a big success last night! I didn't think all that beer and food would disappear in one night, but it did. Thanks to all who came and had fun with my roommate ...
