There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -L. Cohen

About Me

The end only marks a beginning. I love hats... especially the new hat I just got. I love boots, especially those that I wore today. I am starting to look at myself in a way I never have before. I kiss too easily on a first date... especially if alcohol is involved. I drink red wine and whiskey; in fact I have a glass of each in front of me now. I love to explore and discover. Nature and travel feed my soul. Take me camping or travelling and you will see me glow. I buy most of my clothes second hand. I don't get bored easily, unless my attention gets distracted. I LOVE live music and will enjoy a show despite the band sometimes. I am good at fending for myself and problem solving. I need to open up to others more. I meditate and dance (though one is not so different from the other), I read and I remember as much as I forget. I fascinate myself. I am on my way to my first tattoo. Tattoos turn me on. I hope I am on a "path with heart". I study acupuncture and love asian culture. I was chinese in a past life. I think I look good naked... especially if I just smoked a joint. I am predisposed to ranting, but I usually keep it locked up in my head. I just pushed play on my Media Player... "Badfish" by Sublime. This song will always remind me of Carmen. She used to love this song. She is in India now. I don't know if she still loves this song. Carmen, if you are reading this I say hi. I have two cats, and wish I had a dog. I am learning to be true with myself. I have finally admitted to myself that I like country music... though 90% of the new stuff is crap. Steve Earle and Johnny Cash make up a large part of my music collection. I like all music, as long as it's good. I like taking pictures. I just finished my glass of wine. And this splurge of words. The end.

My Interests

using needles, electricity and heat to increase people's well-being, reading, laughing, dancing, hugging, kissing, cuddling, being myself, figuring out who myself is, photography, apprecitating beauty, animals, nature, adventure, camping, getting my hands dirty, love, meditation, bad jokes, music, writing, good food, cooking with a lover, accessorising, the human spirit.

I'd like to meet:
