About Me

I am a sucker for a beard...amongst other things.
I love being in California yet a sucker for Detroit.
I love dry humor and dry wine, a bit of Guiness and dark, bold coffee.
Lately my thoughts have been about the past and the future. I seem to be asking a lot of questions of where I have been and what paths do I have the opportunity to tread. The theme of this year has been bold moves! I think it is beginning to have possible results.
I still don't know what I want to do with my life but I am beginning to think that's okay. Which leads me to...
I think too much and over analyze, but I am learning that it makes me a better person.
I am still trying to make decisions based on if they are funny or not. I find that I am laughing a lot more! Then there are some great stories to back this up.
I started my own organization that I am pretty passionate about. You should give it a look see...(www.beautyfromwithin.net).
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I sat and listened to the rain today. I turned off whatever i was listening to and listened to the rain as I drank coffee out of a mug and read the Death of Modernism. I hoped the rain would ease my s...

indulgences, control, and the choice to let go.

sounds from an abstract guitar

I experienced Glen Kotche and Nels Cline tonight. It was so spacey and lovely; abstract and yet with a movement of clarity and understanding. I have been so exhausted lately. Traveling is not as glamo...
