About Me

Hmmm...what am I supposed to put in this part? Well, I'm into music, cultures, travelling, dancing, and hanging out. I play violin/fiddle and am starting to get into more experimental music with it, playing violin in rock or world beat music. I lived in Japan off and on over 4 years for a total of about 2 years and I loved it, I like to go back and visit when I can. I've also been to Europe a few times, and central America, and quite a few states here in the U.S. I'll take any oppertunity to check out a new place and new culture, I love to hear the languages and traditional or contemporary music. I'm living in San Francisco now and loving it, its a really multi-cultural city.

My Interests

Music, travelling, cultures, Waraku, belly dancing, Zimbabwean music and dance, currency trading, having fun, living life

I'd like to meet:

Friends, new people, anyone and everyone!Check out this video of my friend from Japan, he's a great musician!

Music:

I mostly listen to classic rock (David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, The Beatles...) and world beat (Lugua and the Larubeya drummers, The KTO Project, Zivanai Masango, Oliver Mtukudzi, Fela Kuti, Arabesque, Cheb Mami...)

Movies:

My all-time favorite (since it came out) is Labyrinth. I also like Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs, Wayne's World, Encino Man, movies like that.

Television:

I don't watch much tv, but I love the Simpsons, Seinfeld, Sex in the City, etc.

Books:

I love to read and always have books around. My favorite is probably The Drifters by James Michener, but I like any book that is a good story.

My Blog

Two weekends worth

I did end up sneaking out two weekends ago eventhough I had company (they went to bed before I headed out).  I went to Cafe du Nord to catch the Afro Funk Connexion.  Always a good act (this...
