About Me



CHECK IT OUT! we're getting old.

i have the class of a queen and the mouth of a sailor.

i find comfort in constant movement. my biggest fear besides failure is being stagnant. one of my greatest annoyances is people who talk the talk, but stumble when they try to walk... life's too damn short to sit around and think about what you want to do... get it done.

my life motto comes from a fortune cookie i got recently: 'some people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them.'

let's be honest here: i'm kind of a big deal. and i make one hell of a martini.

finally, in case you thought i was modest:

My Interests

* learning
* experiencing
* drunken dancing battles
* dreaming
* bullshitting
* HUSTLIN'
* being a rolemodel
* pumping iron
* traveling
* hip hop
* graf
* beer
* bloody fucking marys
* making sure buildings look pretty and don't fall over
* grey goose cosmopolitans
* baking
* music
* art
* patron. no training wheels, thx.
* flexing my soul calibur skills
* taking random pictures of random objects
* pretending like i know kung fu
* venti carmel macchiatos
* nuggets basketball
* running
* aprender español
* sushi
* making appearances
* falling over
* laughing
* finding THAT balance
* evil & good
* using catch phrases years after they're popular (HOLLER!)
* AND... saving the goddamn world.

I'd like to meet:


* definitely not your shitty band. it's all about lionel richie, son.
