will it ever be quiet down here?

About Me

I'm just trying to enjoy it all. Impulsiveness leads me to do what I feel when I feel it, as long as there is no drama involved. I need music... lots of it, all the time. The voyeur in me loves to sit in the parks and watch oblivious people. Art--a must, sewing--for sure, good weathered saturdays at Chelsea flea market-- definitely. I am a vintage bird, and always adding to the collection. I just want to laugh, enjoy the company of other folks around me, especially those who can teach me a thing or two about a thing or two. Una botella de vino es bueno.... I'm just here to take it all in, mix it all around, travel the world, and do a bit of it all at least once because this is my one chance to do it... and seriously, I will eventually be a farmer living off the fat of the land in Tahiti. A big straw hat, the beach... sounds perfect... except for maybe that house in a small town on the Mediterranean somewhere in spain materializing creative sh*t. Or maybe i'll pick Stockholm... yeah, that would be pretty sick....

My Interests

give me passion, a dirty pair of chucks especially after a night filled with a bit of debauchery, bailando, music, way up river, stream of conciousness, contagious laughter then comfortable silence, those damn ivories, foreground music, life's unfinished soundtrack, art, art, art, Dali, Gaudi, Spain, Spain, Spain, London, STOCKHOLM, the dirtiest martini ever--make that anything dirty, bonnie and clyde, Michel Gondry, soaking it up, stirring it around and spitting something out with individual interpretation, the challenge, walking to clear it all up, long nights followed by hazy mornings, Fellini, surrealism, Dieter Roth, the weather project, fucking up outfits, mistakes and bigger mistakes to learn from, HoNeStY, good fauckers on all sides, that spot on that hill back home that I can look out and in, painful creative processes, resilience, putting down the plan like an architect, breathing hard and then harder

I'd like to meet:

like they told mikey-- 'all the beautiful babies who are money... so fucking money baby.' the birdies and blokes/lads and ladettes... anyone who doesn't mind causing a little mischief here and there. Unpretentious people. People who have a passion. Those who value spontaneity, living each moment as it comes. Those who like to laugh, and make others laugh twice as hard. Individuals who challenge what they have been spoon fed, and though you may have possibly come up with similar answers, at least you came upon them on your own. Those who put out good energy just because. You believe in honesty and integrity sugared with creativity. Just those who simply want to 'enjoy'. Anyone with a beautiful smile.
