I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


“I need breasts with brains. I don’t mean individual brains, obviously... I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere... I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding.” -Jeff Murdock
It is not a question of your environment or those around you, nor what the organization or leaders may be like. To be swayed by such externals is pointless. It all comes down to one person: you. What matters is that you become a brilliant beacon, shining with joy and happiness and live your life with confidence and courage. If you shine with a radiant light, there can be no darkness in your life.
-Daisaku Ikeda
He who has a 'why' to live can bear with almost any 'how.' - Nietzsche
Through some strange and powerful principle of "mental chemistry" which she has never divulged, nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, "that something" which recognizes no such word as "impossible," and accepts no such reality as failure. - Napoleon Hill
"Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives!" - Strongbad
I will never retreat.
I've got more than 2 cents worth of dimestore philosophy. I have a campaign I take very seriously.
I believe a day without laughter is a day wasted.
I'm soft, sensitive, thoughtful, tall, attractive, and polite. I smell good and dress decently. My links "pop" when hard coded. I'm bright, funny, vibrant, intelligent, clever, and keep dumb jokes handy "just in case". I make mistakes. I have feelings I try not to let people trample on.
I'm rarely serious; when I am, listen. I am open minded, supportive, and loyal.
Resiliency is one of my finer qualities.
I've faced a LOT of "horrific things" in my life, but I've seen much more beauty in the world. .
...in "man's search for meaning", I've 'won'. My high tolerance for pain does not equate with emotional indifference.
The best way to my heart is showing you care about me; second is genuine flattery and/or baked goods. I never stop trying to share my heart. It is our duty to treat each other with respect and love, to bring happiness to each other's lives.
Introspection and CHANTING daily are rituals of mine. I credit this, and my very existence, to Buddhism. Some people blurt out "YOU'RE a Buddhist?!" as though it were something elusive, which enlightenment is NOT.
Want to learn more? PLEASE ask me.
WATER
I am like water...
seeking it's own level,
increasing in volume,
encapsulating forms,
filling the void,
myriad dualities and microcosm,
I am the shape of the world I create,
A fount ever springing forth.
Joshua, 3/24/07

I REALLY like to DJ...
I am working on a new location for Europa.
I plan to resurrect Democracy as well.
Do you know of a two room club that could host them both?
I work as a Realtor, and I like it very much:

My Interests

CHANTING. Peanut. Happiness. Cufflinks. Ties. Thrift stores. Pool parties. Hot tubs. Chillaxation. WORLD PEACE. Human Rights. Social responsibility. Humanism. Education. Gay rights. Sustainability. My life is AMAZING. Don't ask "how", just decide it will be and be happy NOW. It works!

I take pictures sometimes. Some I'd like to see used; maybe big prints in a small gallery, or small prints in a big gallery.

I'd like to meet:

You! Just call me and we can totally hook up!
Mobile: (310) 495-5412 Cell: (310) 217-7638
IF I DON'T KNOW YOU I WON'T ADD YOU.
Please start a dialogue first.
I want to meet others like me, who know what they want and act upon and realize it.
I want to meet those who know themselves, and choose their dreams to be reality...
yes, it IS a choice.
I'm looking for simple, honest, happy, intellectually aware people, perhaps some three-toed sloths ,
and most definitely a "small wiener":

Oh, I mustn't forget The Escape Artist, Ellen Allien, and Mary Anne McNeney

DON'T BOTHER me if you are a band. You may think it's "networking", but you are annoying and wasting bandwidth, the bane of MySpace; I hope your parents kick you out of the basement soon.
I don't like 99% of anything to do with NYC, especially people from there that go elsewhere and spew forth how much better NYC is; I think it's great you love it there so much, and I think you should stay there or STFU.

Love, in the Biblical sense. Literally.

Love is patient, love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13 (thanks, Jewels!)
