I am here for Friends

About Me

Back from Africa... unfortunatley. Working, going to school, picking up dog shit. Back to the same old grind. I put just a few Africa photos for those of you who even look at this thing anymore.

My Interests

Music & playing instruments, books, travelling, AFRICA, refugees, cultures, hell I even like school.

I'd like to meet:

Astronauts, former political leaders, Nobel Prize winners, refugees, musicians from all walks of life, former prostitutes, people kinkier than me...

Music:

Music is a huge part of my life. Lately I've been into the Asian Dub Foundation, reggae, blues, and jazz. But my heart is always deep in bluegrass.

Books:

I've been on a non-fiction kick for a while now. Particularly travel journals and historical biographies.

Heroes:

Nelson Mandela, Masaharu Morimoto, my Aunt Diane, refugees, the Austrailian Outback, Paul Bowles, Marie Curie, Abraham Lincoln, Nikola Tesla, Jaques Cousteau, Wangari Maathai, Naya Nuki, Nancy Drew, the Boxcar Children, Neanderthals, Jules Verne, Takeru Kobayashi, Chico Mendes, Basil Davidson, Jennifer Harbury, David Livingstone, Dr. Shamala

Oh Well...

Well, it's my birthday, first off.  And yet it's a sad one.  I've grown to accept the fact that Egypt is only a pipe dream at this point.  I have to forget about studying abroad for a w...
