You're awesome!!

About Me

I've got a big heart. I love writing, performing people watching, long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners.... huh what am I saying I hate walking?? I believe in doing what you love for a living, so I guess I love dealing with crazy people, and having a boss who is insane, but it means that I get to work from home, and work out and drink tea and travel. I'm not a health nut, but I like to eat healthy most of the time. I don't drink coffee or soda, but I have a weakness for beer. I just bought a juicer. I have a degree in Literature (wrote a 30 page paper on Leo Tolstoy), and I was using that degree being a successful manager in a coffee shop, then I discovered comedy, and I knew that I could go on stage and make fun of that coffee shop, and it would eventually lead to creating and finding different venues for other people with literature degrees to get on stage and make fun of their coffee shops. I love writing and drawing although I don't draw as much as I used to. I have a big box of comic books I wrote. I love people. I'm happy, brilliant, intelligent, clever, kind to animals, and modest. I love zen philosophy although to actually say that I do is not really zen I suppose. I try to mediate twice a day. I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the other people in his car. Thank you I'll be here all week!

My Interests

comedy, reading, acting, writing, dime store philosophy/psychology, making people happy, learning, excercise

I'd like to meet:

people who are artists of any kind be it writing, drawing, sculpting, dancing, acting, drinking, stripping. Those who have a great sense of humor, and are very open, the folks who didn't go to the party and just sit in a corner and make fun of everyone because it made them feel better about not getting up and interacting, unless of course it was one of those parties where you might need to do just that, so did that just sound like a polititcian. Funny people who have passion in their lives. People who like to sit and have a nice long conversation while people watching.... with the cross hares of a rifle from an undetected vantage point. To quote the original cartoon version of Lord of the Rings, "The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. The days of tomorrow are yet to be said. The choices the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break."
