My Interests

Riding the wave of constant change, leisurly riding my bike when its not cold outside, hoping, meditation, dreaming, kissing and loving, water, mangos, passionfruit direct from the tree, insects, snakes(THANKS BILLIE!!), new places, friends, the ocean and living near it, swimming, flirting, singing, yoga, dancing,TALKING and the silence in between.

Music:

Music that inspires me into action. Though I do enjoy the poetics and composition of artists such as, Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Neutral Milk Hotel, Fugazi, Tom Waits, J. Mascis, Sinead O'connor and others, I prefer, these days to listen to more uplifting music. I'm constantly keeping my ears open for new sounds so I change the videos and songs on my page often when I find something I'm feeling at the moment.
