I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live in Hollywood. Lived all over the place including SF, Paris, Mexico City and the shores of the Arctic. I love LA. I love her more each day. Part of my history is here, that's why . I am an avid observer of human behaviour, and make more mistakes at figuring people out that anyone I know. I love to cook and eat out. I ride my bike everywhere. My car stays parked until summer when I can take the top down. I play records until late and go see every film that comes out, bad or worse. That's the story (well, part of it).

My Interests

To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight.
- e.e. cummings

art, music and urban living. Oh, yeah, im crazy about a monkey.

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for that indescribable-always-mysterious-kismet-chemistry.

Bringing it to the streets...June 30, 2006

I thought about this poem last night as a I rode my bike home, a little drunk, and a little happy..."This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,Away from books, away from art, the day ...
