About Me


I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, much to my detriment. It's a fine balancing act to be cautiously optimistic. To be wary and alert without putting up a wall. To be forthcoming and playful, without coming on too strong.

Thoughtful, sensitive, vulgar, stubborn, passionate, and in serious need of catharsis.

My Interests

art, music, burning man, great sex, cooking, great vegan food, yoga, non-pretentious down-to-earth people, computers, intelligence, creativity, exploration, education, psychology, indulgence and deprivation, fitness, exercise, guitars, drums, good porn, innovation, nyc, breaking tradition, people, open-mindedness, parties, piercings, sociology, wisdom, experience, reinvention, rules, breaking rules, shattering norms, blurring lines, sarcasm, making lists, self-improvement, order, preparation, learning, wit, spontaneity, veganism, great music....
