About Me

What occupies my mind everyday is the state of our environment. Physically and emotionally unstable, there is much work to be done. We are all the problem, but everyday is a new opportunity to become more of the solution. QUALITY OF LIFE is the issue... taking care of the planet is not a liberal issue, it's a human issue. i enjoy clean water, i'm down with good food, i'd like to not have to worry about the state of these very simple things; I would like to have fish past 2047! this is about enjoying life folks, enjoying a CLEAN place to live our lives. not sacrifices but small changes for very big rewards. And, in the words of Ms. Katie White, life is to "create wonderful babies, powerful thoughts, a community, and juicy, bum-shaking music." WORD.....

My Interests

working on the upcoming excellent gentlemen record. doing what i say, and saying what i mean. living with the environment, not against it. voting with my dollars. teaching through example. and of course, balancing it all out with guilty pleasures that somewhat oppose all i believe in. (ie. guitar hero, mario kart, choco bananas, ANTM, and terrible movies with large bags of popcorn.) at the end of the day, i am only human.

I'd like to meet:

anyone who gets down on roller skates, anyone who is involved with TED, conscious consumers, sarcastic sassafrasses, people who are human + kind. i want to hug gene wilder. i want to dance with gene kelly. i want to laugh with steve martin. i want to sing with chaka kahn, roberta flack, nina simone, and of course, michael mcdonald.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music is the true love of my life. On consistent rotation the following artists: Anything Motown, Stax, Soul etc. (stevie, green, otis, etc.); Sly and the Family Stone, a great singer gets me everytime ie. Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn, Tina Turner and The Ikettes, Fiona Apple, Ella, J. Buckley, etc., LHASA, Bjork, Cinematic Orchestra, , Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake. I'm a firm believer in great songwriting; ie. john prine, johnny cash, greg brown etc...
