About Me

hmmm....keep trying to think of something to say that would capture me in a typed phrase...but I can't seem to encapsulate myself, I guess that's a good thing. The energy that I am made of is the same as anyone else, so I guess if you know me, you also know yourself, the mountains, the ocean, cars, the street...so we should be pretty well set. Or not, whatever works for you.

My Interests

TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL!!!!!! I think it's possible for me to see every country in the world in my lifetime...And to climb in every country! And every state...I just want it all! I like the outdoors and the sun. Rock Climbing, hiking, whitewater rafting, I don't care I'll try anything. But I like to have a nightlife too. As long as there isn't too many roofs over my head, that really suffocates me. And art, I love to paint...the bigger the better, murals are my favorite. And singing, too...that's just for fun. And of course, health and healing...massage, nutrition, all of that fun stuff.
Your Element Is Fire
Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many. What's Your Element?

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn't "Like" to meet anyone...I just do meet people...you can't really choose who you would like to meet, the universe just spits out the right person at the right time, for the right purpose. You have to go along for the ride, and be open and ready for it.

Music:

I go by the firm believe that there is a great musician in every genera. I really like rock, though...and I'm a sucker for live music. Nothing like seeing the bands energy up close, and really feeling what they're about. It's a really good way to see if their music is truly coming from them, and not an image they are trying to create. What's in my head now: Bjork! If I would were a lesbian, I would definitely staulk Bjork. She's amazing. What else...Bright Eyes, Massive Attack, System of a Down, Nick Drake, Placebo, John Butler Trio, G-Love and Special Sauce, Anicon, Cex, Underworld, Radiohead, Nirvana, NIN, Yes, Stabbing Westward, Murder by Death, Taproot, RH Chilie Peppers, Alman Brothers, Tool, Perfect Circle, Frou frou...too many to name...

Movies:

Refer to my comments about TV. Movies are even more purposeless, as they are even longer and take up even more of my time.Unless they teach me something...like What the Bleep do we Know?, Waking Life, I heart Huckabees, Baklara, etc.

Television:

SCREW TELEVISION!!!!! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!! And people wonder why I am able to fit so many elements into my life it's because I don't waste time stuck to the damn thing... Oh yeah, except cartoons...South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force...these are all exceptions to the rule. But cartoons are funny, and I'm going to marry Cartman one day.

Books:

The Yoga Sutras, Tao teh Ching, My Ishmael, Secrets of a Millionaire Mind, The Power of Now, Soul as Healer, The Rock Warrior's Way, 7 Spiritual Law of Success, The Four Agreements, Survivor, Siddhartha, Tolkien trilogy (yes, I read it far before the movies came out...), Autobiography of a Yogi...

Heroes:

I think I meet new heroes every few days...whenever I'm in a spot of trouble, it seems that the perfect beautiful person comes to me in the perfect beautiful moment. Whether they're good friends, family, or complete strangers. And sometimes my heroes are harsh...but that's just the way that they need to be to show me what I need to know. And sometimes they are simply beautiful angels.

My Blog

Lame, MySpace!

I guess this qualifies as "inappropriate," but myspace took down one of my pics of my artwork...it was the sketch of the back of a woman's body that I made in a figure drawing class. There wasn't anyt...

Cities while Traveling

This yup reaffirms my previous belief...although I love to live in cities, I really don´t like going to cities when I travel. I took a small walk through San Jose´ today...and it was interesting, but...

Madison

Every time I come back to Wisconsin, I'm reminded of many things...I'm not happy when I'm back in Whitewater. I absolutely love my family, but I do not mesh with the energy here. I don't feel right, a...

Turmoil...shifting...ahhhh!!! But at least I'm not bored.

I've reverted back to being so indecisive lately...it's like I'm scared of my own decisions. I think it's because everything in my life is shifting....and so things are starting to spin. It's all good...

The Universe shifted! I felt it! Or maybe it's the painkillers....

It could be that my friends were shooting me loving energy. It could be that I had a lot of power from eating my veggies. Or, it could be the homeopathic painkillers I've taken. Either way, I felt a s...

Please Help! I need to suck out the negative demons that have infected my positive soul.

yes, yes...I know, I know..."The answer lies within" and "The way I react to a situation is my choice," and even "everything you focus on expands." But I want someone to help me suck my negativity! Fo...
